Christmas falls on a Thursday this year and we WILL be doing a You Served Podcast! How many people will actually be listening? Probably not many, but we’re doing it anyway.

As Soldiers, we are called frequently to be away from our families during the holidays. This Christmas season is no different for tens of thousands of troops who are on the front lines of combating terrorism and bringing peace to unstable corners of the world. From thousands of miles away their families try to enjoy their Christmas vacations knowing their loved ones are in harm’s way. So, why should we use the holiday as an excuse to avoid setting aside two hours to tell their story.

This week on the Blog Talk Radio You Served Podcast, Troy and I – along with other troops – will discuss our Christmas memories being away from family during this time of year. I’m working feverishly to get some troops called in from theater. Due to the time difference, that may be difficult. If you think about it, tune in to www.blogtalkradio.com/youserved and spread the word that we will be there this Thursday from 7-9pm EST. Will you join us on this special day?
