Dear Members of the MacArthur Society of West Point Graduates,

As we each ready our families and homes for Christmas and the Holidays, it makes me reflect on the times our troops missed holidays with their families. Many of you missed your own share of Christmases, Thanksgivings, birthdays, kids’ sports games, and maybe even the birth of a child when duty called.
