    Here, here GP. Saw a Slouch Hatted fellow in a picture of US Army Medical team. Wonder if there is a story there. Merry belated Christmas and Happy New Year.

    Hope you and yours had a nice Christmas. Cold up here. Shoveling snow. But that’s OK. Got it better than most folks in this world.
    Happy New Year to you too!

    Merry Christmas, my friend! And Merry Christmas as well to all our soldiers who have to be away from their families that we may all live in peace. Thanks for all your sacrifices.

    A Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family, GP, and to all our soldiers and veterans everywhere!

    Many a veteran out there still needs adequate medical care, and is not getting proper attention from the V.A. Do not forget them who have served, and now need our support!

    Thank you as always, for reminding us about those who have served and continue to do so, especially during the holidays. I made the point of looking carefully at each and every photo in your slide show.
    Merry Christmas!
