Twas The Night Before Christmas......2005

When Ed was in Iraq for Christmas in 2005, he had made arrangements to read the story Twas The Night Before Christmas and have someone video it so it could be sent home for the kids that Christmas. He got held up with work stuff and wasn't able to make it over to the Chapel to do the reading....it was a blessing in disguise as the Chapel was mortered during the time he was supposed to have been there doing the reading. He would have been killed reading that story. It was also a blessing that nobody happened to be in the Chapel at the time it was hit. Now, every Christmas when we read that story we remember how lucky we are that Ed is with us and we never get upset when we are held up with something, as it just might be protecting us from something......
