I'm sorry I didn't post this sooner, but I had to clear this story through our public affairs office and our intelligence cell before making it public knowledge! :)

'Twas the Night Before Christmas
-By Captain Marissa Mitchell, US Army, OIF 2007-2008

‘Twas the night before Christmas, and back in my trailer
I felt lonely and cold, like a long adrift sailor.

My roommate was snuggled up close to the heater.
If it turned on again, I swore I would beat her.

Melancholy, I gazed at my tiny, lit tree,
Wishing that I was back home with my family.

When outside, I heard the most terrible roar!
The sirens were blaring and I hit the floor.
