At this hectic time of the year it is very easy to get caught up in tasks: our work, travel, shopping, etc and sometimes we forget what it is all about. All you need to do is read the following story to remember what is really important : friends, family, God and country.
Merry Christmas and may God bless. .

Team-
As I sat in the lovely Detroit Airport yesterday recouping from 2 days with Dave and Mark, I saw a great example of what Christmas is all about. I was standing in a very crowded waiting area while my delayed plane was finally arriving. Everyone was crowding and shuffling to get a position in the cattle stampede when it happened. The passengers began to come off the plane FINALLY, and a wounded soldier in uniform coming back from fighting for our country, departed the plane and the restless, frustrated, angry crowd all of a sudden, transformed themselves into a family type group welcoming a loved one home. We all stood up and applauded, totally impromptu, for about 2 minutes. The soldier was weeping under his sunglasses and tears streamed down his face. His family ran to the front of the waiting area, his wife and 2 kids and they jumped in his arms and embraced. He turned to all of us and said he was so thankful to fight for such a great country and be home after 2 years and he yelled MERRY CHRISTMAS and God Bless America!!!
I will never forget it. I am sorry for the emotional email, but I thought who better to share it with than you!
Please be safe today and listen for the ringing of the bell, because it will always be there for those who truly BELIEVE!!!!!
