Merry Christmas!

December 24, 2008

Merry Christmas to one and all! Enjoy yourselves; feast; drink, and be merry!

Others are not doing nearly so well, and I hope and pray that at some point in the festivities one and all thinks back about those people.

Think about the Soldiers, Marines, Coast guardsmen, and Air Force, and Navy people. Men, and women, that stand guard while we sleep in relative comfort. Think about those that have been imprisoned for doing so; Compean and Ramos come to my immediate mind, and, they are not the only ones.


Think about the Paramedics, the Firefighters, and the Police personnel that are standing duty away from their homes and families so that you can be safe.


Alright, that was pretty general and would suffice in a general way. At least for most people.

I am not an ordinary sort of person though. Yes, I have a special place in my heart. Although I sit in the middle of Al Gore’s promise of global warming, with a local high temperature of something in the low to mid teens I still have something deep inside to  people that are, in fact, always on my mind.

  • Saint Anthony Hospital Paramedics.
  • Broomfield Paramedic’s and EMT’s.
  • North Metro Firefighters (not firemen!)
  • Commerce City, Colorado Police.
  • Northglenn Ambulance Alumni.
  • Arvada, Colorado Jaycee’s.
  • Clear Creek County Ambulance.

Then, there are those that are, for whatever reason are more than special in my heart.

  • Those that go into harms way from the Fifth Special Forces Group; You know who you are, and why I think of you.
  • The ” Tiger Teams” of Seventh Special Forces; You also know who you are, and why.
  • Rangers, all of you. But especially two Mike’s, and a John, from Third Rangers. You know why guys. OOORAH! AIRBORNE!
  • Second Marine Division.
  • First Marine Division. (5th, my father died wearing your colors in Korea. Special thanks to you Men. Carry on…)
  • The Coast Guard along the entire western coast of the United States. I was auxiliary based out of Oceanside. Would that I could have been one of you!

The message?

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

God Bless each and every one of you!

My name is Patrick Dennis Sperry. I love all of you, and, I stand with, in front of, or behind you as the need demands.
