Op-ed:
A Military Christmas...Past and Present
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot
Factor / Right Side Patriots on American Political Radio
In five short days Christmas will
once again be upon us...the day when Christians the world over
celebrate the birth of one small child...a child who forever changed
the course of history...a child named Jesus...God Our Father's only
Begotten Son. And in just two days the first Hanukkah candles will be
lit...the "Festival of the Lights" it's called...for
Hanukkah commemorates the Maccabees securing control of Judea and the
rededication of the Second Temple so very many centuries ago.
But what should be a festive time for all remains just another day for those now serving in both our and our allies armed forces...men and women who are stationed or actually fighting in far off theaters of war. To them it's just another day to be on guard and pick up arms if need be, but know that no matter the circumstances those in the military always seem to find a way to celebrate and honor this most holy and joyous time of year. And one such quite unexpected celebration took place just over one hundred years ago during the First World War.
