A Different Christmas Poem (Revised)

I owe a debt of gratitude to my childhood friend, Mary Allen Hammer, for bringing this remix of this great holiday poem to my attention. I want all my fellow ranters to take a moment of watch this video. I mean REALLY watch it... then think about the men and women who have served from your own families and say a prayer for them this holiday season. Regardless of your political persuasion, if you are not choked up and welling up by the end, then as, Craig Ferguson would say, "You should go join the Al Queda." I thank you, Mary, as does the spirit of the favorite cousin I lost in Vietnam and my proud father, who after two purple hearts in WW2 finally lost the fight for his life at age 90.
