To the members of the profession of arms, the noblest of professions, who this season will find themselves on foreign soil, far from home and loved ones; may the brightness of a child’s eyes of a Christmas morn light your loneliest of hours; may the warmth of our hearth transcend time and distance and ease the chill of your winter’s night. In that silent moment of peace, after Santa’s labor is complete and before the little ones shriek with glee at their good fortune, in that fleeting period when all is calm and right with the world; know that I will raise a warm glass in salute to you, to your loved ones, and to your sacrifice.
To all of you; may Love pervade your Holiday Season.
For all of us here at WP-ORG, Happy Holidays!

…… and as an additional thought, if we have any Forum members in the theaters of operations, they should be notified so they can spread the word among their brothers (and sisters) in arms that they are not forgotten ….

Although I am unable to consume alcohol because of the medicine I must take, I will be happy to join in the spirit of the occasion with an appropriate libation. Since Dempsey was the original author of this idea and Steve came up with the time concept, which time zone should we consume our bubblies? West Point is in the Eastern, and Dempsey is in Mountain and Steve is ????, If a decision is made on what time zone we are focused on, we can coordinate our toast accordingly. In other words is the 1800 time Eastern, Cemtral. Mountain, Pacific or Hawaiian?

Tom Leo asks, “In the spirit of the season, could we include members in cybercon – Lee & Jim?”
We had an amnesty just a few weeks ago. That’s all, for a while.
In the spirit of the season, could we include members in cybercon – Lee & Jim?
1800 hrs EST 25 DEC works for me. i will likely be just having a glass of wine with dinner at that time!
Count me in! If my camera is handy, I’ll take a picture and post it!
That means the drinking starts early here on the left coast. We’re in. Family will join us! Dian Welle
Great suggestion, Steve!

Demps,
May I suggest that all WP-ORG members be invited to raise a glass to our deployed brethren at 1800 (6:00 PM) 25 DEC Eastern Standard Time?
