MAF Presents: The Daily File Blog

Here at the Move America Forward Daily File we chronicle the good news on the War on Terrorism you might not have heard about on the evening news. We also shine the spotlight on those whose conduct against our country and our military is unbecoming.

Dreaming of a Quiet Christmas

The cooling temperatures, the falling leaves and winter coats growing on my animals remind me that Thanksgiving and Christmas – and Hanukkah – are just around the corner. It is my favorite time of year, though I used to get sick every Christmas and cry when I heard Christmas carols. (I don’t know. Weird. Guess I was excited about that pony Santa was bringing).

This year is special because we at Move America Forward are embarking on a special tour to honor our troops. We will travel from the Pacific tlo the Atlantic and collect cards from all of you to carry to Iraq. You can go below and see a post by Melanie Morgan on the itinerary.

We have spoken with many troops who every day protect us. We are always humbled when they send us a thank you note. They deserve all of the thanks.

Imagine spending Thanksgiving, Christmas and all of the holidays in a war zone, thousands of miles from your family. Our brave men and women do this. They and their families sacrifice so much as we eat turkey, argue with our relatives about politics, and watch our children open presents.

Every day I pray for them. I pray that they know we support them, even though some loud-mouthed anarchists and congressmen prattle on about how our troops are “cold-blooded murderers.” (Still waiting for that apology Mr. Murtha!)

We know that you all support our troops, so we’re asking you to make cards, buy them and have your children’s schools make Christmas greetings. We’ll take them to Iraq to present them in your name.

This year a group of us from Move America Forward will spend the holidays away from our families at home and will spend them with America’s family - our troops – in Iraq.

Please go to MoveAmericaForward.org often for updates and to buy Thanksgiving packages for our troops. They will, of course, arrive before we get to Iraq!!!

Please mail the cards to our headquarters:
