My admiration overfloweth!
:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:





In 2005, as our nation remained at war and our world was battered by earthquakes, tsunamis, and hurricanes, we were reminded both of life's fragility and the real strength of our nation. Unprecedented suffering was matched by the sacrifice and generosity of countless Americans who rushed to do their part. Across the country and around the world, Americans have gone above and beyond the call of duty to help those in need, reminding us again that what was written one hundred years ago is still true: America is great because Americans are good.

As we gather with our families, we should all take a moment to honor those who have given of themselves so others could heal, and to remember that in this year when natural disaster left so many without family members to celebrate with, or homes to celebrate in, there is so much giving left to be done -- and so much to be done to comfort those Americans who this holiday season pray for loved ones serving in Afghanistan and Iraq.

As Teresa and I look forward to Christmas with our family, we wish all the best for you, and thank you for your unwavering commitment to America. We wish you a happy and healthy holiday season, and continued blessings in the New Year.

Sincerely,

John Kerry


This holiday season, please remember service members everywhere who are separated from their families both in the United States and overseas.


Support the USO’s efforts to bring them a little closer to home.

1. Did this come to the email list?
Haven't gotten it yet, if so, so thanks for posting it here! A heartfelt and beautiful message, as always -- plus that incredibly gorgeous picture of the two of them!!!

2. I hope he does e-mail it, because I have been waiting to give to
the USO for him. I want my donation to be given through him. I know that seems weird, but it is like giving two donations: one, in the form of money to our troops and two, in the form of public relations for our senator who has fought for us all year long. The USO had its biggest month last December when Kerry solicited for the USO. I want the troops to know that he is fighting for them AND that Democrats across the country do support them even if the other side says we don't.

4. That is a lovely picture of both of them

I definitely hope if he runs again that there are more big joint appearances with Teresa. I realize they can see far more people alone - but Kerry always looks so relaxed and happy when she is there.

They just look so nice together in that picture.
