Remember Our Troops This Christmas
December 25, 2017
We are incessantly told to remember our troops this Christmas. They are keeping us safe so that we can celebrate Christmas. We should appreciate them because they miss their families because they are in Afghanistan or some other far away place. Sorry, but I don’t appreciate the military. Not on Christmas or any other day.
