A Sailor Is A Gift As we celebrate Christmas, and we open our gifts, we realize what priceless gifts a sailor gives to our country-- the gifts of patriotism, service, and deep dedication to our nation. As we feast on a variety of fine Christmas delicacies, we acknowledge that a sailor personifies a variety of fine qualities: courage, good character, honor, fortitude amidst hardship, persistence in subduing evil, and bravery in the face of danger. A sailor is a cut above the rest of us, doing jobs we could not or would not do. While we are surrounded by Christmas comforts, we remember sailors in places we would not want to be, bringing the gift of adaptability to any situation, no matter how harsh or difficult. As we "ooh" and "aah" over the Christmas lights and shiny ornaments we recognize that a sailor gives us the most cherished gift of all, the shining light of freedom. At Christmas, let us wrap our hearts and minds around our treasured sailors. May they understand how very much their service means to us. Let us send the Christmas gifts of love, respect and admiration to our steadfast, loyal, magnificent warrior. They themselves are the most precious Christmas gift of all, our protectors--our sailors.
