Merry Christmas to out service members

Our thoughts are with our military members and their families, as this is a difficult time of year to be separated.

I wanted to use this opportunity to ask you to support numerous charity organizations that directly help our service man and women.

In October, President Bush signed the fiscal 2009 defense budget which authorized a 3.9% pay raise for service members, which will take effect 1 January 2009. This represents a one-half-percent increase over Bush's initial request. So we can look forward to that in the coming year! I am optimistic that we will see lots of positve changes in 2009 and this might be just one of them!
