But, I also know first hand the loneliness as a military member. I was stationed in Kunsan, Korea and away from my family and husband that I met when I was at my first duty station. At least he was able to come to visit for a short time after Christmas.

As tomorrow is the Saturday before Christmas I would like to send this message and image as the weekly practice message for anyone participating to copy.
