This is an outtake from the 1944 20th Century Fox movie "FOUR JILLS IN A JEEP," adapted from Carole Landis' book about the real-life journey by Landis, Raye, Mitzi Mayfair and Kay Francis to entertain U.S. troops overseas in WWII.
Martha Raye also went to entertain the troops during the Vietnam War.

A Little Song Present for Each of You
Please CLICK the picture below to hear the song from me to all of you.
Say a prayer for our Troops and thank them every chance you get. If you meet a Veteran walk right up to that person and thank them. Thank them with all your heart because they are all the reason we live in the greatest country in the world. Those in the Military serving now and our Veterans from every branch are the REAL reason we are free.
I sincerely wish the yuletide spirit of Christmas of love to abide in your heart, hearth and home throughout this festive season and throughout the year.

Thank you Troops With All Our Hearts
Task Force 12 Soldiers Continue Traditions From Home
By Sgt. Brandon Little, USA
Special to American Forces Press Service
DOD
CAMP TAJI, Iraq
Dec. 20, 2007
As the holiday season approaches, many soldiers would like more than anything to receive just one simple present.
It isn’t a video game system, an MP3 player, or a new digital anything -- it’s the chance to be with family and loved ones.
Instead of having a case of humbugs because they are away from home, some soldiers have decided to get together to spread some holiday cheer and help lift the spirits of those around them.
“Back home, my family would get together and take time to decorate our whole house,” said Army Pfc. Heather McKinnon, a supply specialist in Task Force 12 and a native of Biddeford, Maine. “That’s why (we) decided it would be a good idea to decorate a tree and put it somewhere everybody could see it.”
“I’m new to the unit, so helping set up decorations was a good opportunity for me to get to know some of the soldiers I’m going to be working with a little better,” said 1st Lt. Adam Samiof, executive officer for Headquarters and Headquarters Company. “I guess I’m just trying to get into the holiday spirit.”
Decorating this tree, donated by the Veterans of Foreign Wars, is just one of the ways Task Force 12 soldiers plan to cope with being deployed during this holiday season.
“My husband and I decorated our room,” said Sgt. Lisa Riat, a communications security custodian from Lumberton, N.C. “Having my husband (Chief Warrant Officer Jasbir Riat) here makes it a little easier to be away from home during the holidays.”
The Riats are one of several married couples in Task Force 12. “This is our first deployment together,” said Riat, a three-combat-tour veteran. “We plan to have dinner together, but we have decided not to exchange gifts this year.”
Many soldiers have found ways to enjoy this holiday season without their loved ones.
“I just plan to be around some friends that I have, just like I did for Thanksgiving Day this year and last year,” said Samiof, a native of Albany, N.Y. “Some of the friends you make in the military can become a different kind of family for you when you’re not with your real family.”
“Being away from close friends and family members back home during the holiday season can really make you miss and appreciate the things you might have taken for granted,” Riat said. “I really miss being getting ready to cook a big dinner for me and my family.”
Whether it’s hanging decorations on a tree or having a home-cooked meal with family members, soldiers in Iraq have found ways to adjust to the things they will miss this holiday season.
“This is my first holiday season away from home, and I think what I will miss most is being around friends and family and having a home-cooked meal,” Samiof said. “I know that being away from home this year will make everybody appreciate being with their families much more next year.”
...and here is a story from Afghanistan.

In addition to his duties as a cook, Wright is also responsible to order and store all supplies; and for all maintenance, hygiene and upgrades to the galley.

Barbara Walters Wants To Hijack A Christian Holiday
Walters surprised at religious White House Christmas card
The front of the card is a color print of a painting of the East Colonnade at the White House. The view is from a snowy outside, beside a water pool, looking through a large window into the White House at a lighted and decorated Christmas tree.
Inside the card, it says, (under a gold presidential seal)
"You alone are the LORD, You made the heavens, even the highest heavens, and all their starry host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them, You give life to everything, and the multitudes of heaven worship you. NEHEMIAH 9:6 (NIV)
Below that, in a cursive typeface, it reads:
"May the joy of all creation fill your heart this blessed season. 2007" It is signed "George Bush ....Laura Bush."
Wild Thing's comment........
Hey liberal breath Barbara Wawa, weally, that’s utterwy outwageous. gimme a bweak aweady.
Barbara, you moron, it's a Christmas card, not a "Holiday" or a Ramadan or a Kwanza card. Walters being upset at seeing a little Old Testament scripture? She’s wound way too tight.
I just got my White House Christmas card yesterday and I was just glad it didn't say Happy Holidays or Season Greetings.
This has nothing at all to do with the fact that Barbara Walters happens to be Jewish. That is NOT what she is upset about. She is not stupid she is well aware this is not the Hanukkah Holiday it is Christmas, a Christian Holiday and she is expecting not only the President but everyone to make it watered down and include Moslems etc. as she states. Even though Moslems have their holiday as well totally separate from Christmas and Jews. This is outrageous!!!!!!!!!!!
Christmas is a celebration of Jesus’ birth. And if that offends Barbara Walters so much then she can request to be taken off the White House card list I am sure.
I have dear Jewish friends that say Merry Christmas to me just as I tell them Happy Hanukkah.

WWE tribute to the troops ~John Cena and Others
WWE tribute to the troops will be happening again this year. The WWE has been big on supporting our troops.
From Last year, Christmas night saw WWE's fourth annual Tribute to the Troops, as the fighting men and women at Camp Victory in Baghdad, Iraq were treated to the WWE experience.
John Cena, Umaga, Rated-RKO, Lashley, Jeff Hardy, Undertaker, Carlito and CM Punk were among the Superstars and Extremists in action, Santa Claus and the WWE Divas made an appearance, and in an unforgettable moment, JBL helped one soldier become the first person ever to break Chris Masters' Master Lock.
And this is from this year from one of the female wrestlers ....Mickie James
There are no photos yet or video for the 2008 WWE Tribute to the troops, but I wanted to show you how wonderful it is to see the passion these people have for our troops.
By Mickie James
Written: December 4, 2007
"Hey there.After much anticipation, I am about to leave for the Tribute to the Troops tour in Iraq. I have to admit I am a little nervous, but my excitement surpasses any reservations I have. I don’t know how these soldiers can leave their families for months at a time to go to this foreign land, not knowing what tomorrow might bring. No matter where you stand on the war, you have to respect and commend our troops for dedicating and putting their lives on the line for us on a daily basis. This is just a small way for WWE as a company, a community and a family to give back to them for all they do for us.
I’ve been told that it’s wicked cold over there so I have packed lots of warm clothes. I went out and bought a really awesome super fuzzy warm hat, gloves and scarf. I also bought a really cute sweat suit from Victoria’s Secret – any reason to go out and shop, really. What a girl! Of course, I brought my daily Diva wear to sport for all my heroes when we go out to meet them, just a variety of sexy tops, jeans and boots, along with makeup and the necessities. A girl’s still gotta be a hottie even if it’s freaking freezing outside. I tried not to overpack, which is hard for me, mostly because I know it’s not the cleanest place and we’re gonna be doing a lot of walking. At any rate, I ended up with one bag weighing in at 55 pounds. Yeah, I know. And in my carry-on I had to bring my computer so I could still do my homework while we are over there and write my daily blog for WWE.com."

Santa Claus Fired in Auzzie Land For Saying HO-HO-HO-
Not laughing now: John Oakes, pictured here as Santa, claims he has been fired for saying 'ho ho ho' - which is offensive to women
Ho-ho-ho is a no-no for store's Santa Claus - because it is 'offensive to women'
A shop has sacked its Santa Claus for saying Ho-ho-ho.
John Oakes, 70, got his marching orders after the store decreed that women might be offended because 'ho' is American slang for a whore.
Instead, he was supposed to say Ha-ha-ha.
"They're are trying to kill the spirit of Christmas," said Mr Oakes, who has been a Santa for ten years.
He was also found guilty of singing Jingle Bells at the Myer department store in Cairns, Northern Australia.
He said: "The manager told me my services were no longer required.
"When I asked her why, she replied, 'You said Ho-ho-ho and that's not appropriate'.
"Not appropriate? How long has Santa been calling Hohoho, for goodness sake?
"She also said I wasn't supposed to sing."
A spokesman for the store insisted the elderly Santa was dismissed because of 'his attitude' and not for his Ho-hohoing.
"Our Santas are not banned from using the term," he insisted.
Mr Oakes, who is looking for a new job as Santa, says he is prepared to sing, shout Ho or Ha.
But he draws the line at clambering down chimneys.
Wild Thing's comment........
STUPID STUPID STUPID
It shouldn't be offensive to any woman if you ask me. If a woman is offended by a Santa saying ho..ho..ho.. She needs to first see a mental health professional and then get a life.
This man will be the first known victim of Ho Ho Ho rules. Good grief, I don't know. I wonder if they are allowed to call the female dogs bitches? Saying “Ha Ha Ha” would probably offend the local clown union or some other group standing in line to become a victim.
What is next will “I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas” gets banned as racist?
The liberal political correctness disease causes real damage to real people. Why won’t people wake up and put a stop to this madness?
I know one thing the next time anyone tries to tell me how something should be said with keeping political correctness in mind they will be told off big time.
I am so sick of these 'politically correct' fools dictating how the rest of society is run. I desperately wish people would just start slapping these idiots upside the head when they pop off like that. If they are so easily offended at the least little thing, why haven't we offended them senseless yet?
We are way overdue for the PC pendulum to swing the other direction. We need an Offensiveness Surge. Let's offend the daylights out of them. No doubt there are more of us non-PC thick-skinned types than there are of these whiners.
Since we are all very well versed in all the stupid little things that set them off, offending them at every turn should be a very easy mission to accomplish. Keep these thin-skinned 'touchy-feely' idiots so busy being offended at every little thing, everywhere they go that they can't leave the house.
Let's purge all these hyper-sensitive 'tender-hearted' cry-baby whiners from our society all at once. Just think how much fun it will be to make these fools turn blue in the face and wet themselves at the slightest thing.
