You have to love your mother. They worry about the most insignificant things.

I hope everyone who is deployed now has such a loving mother and family as I did.

When I was with 3rd MarDiv on Okinawa, Christmas '74, my mom and dad sent me a big Christmas package. I opened it up and it had a can of Wolf Brand Chili, some Old El Paso canned tamales and canned refried beans, chips, and hot sauce. I cooked it on my hot plate in my Q and had a great taste of home. It was one of my most memorable Christmas Presents, ever.

Christmas 1968 RVN. No USO, nothing special, just another day in the bunker on watch.

Xmas eve 68 I sat up all night waiting to ambush a local VC unit.
They apparently stayed home-lucky for them.
1969 observed XMAS cease fire by watching some ARVNs send a whole bunch of 105's into Cambodia.
Me and the team medic helped by shooting a bunch of leftover 2.75 rockets with claymore clackers guided by a length of angle iron.
