Friends of the Fourth
District:
The holiday season is a special time for all of us, filled with
peace and generosity and the blessings brought by family and
friends. We are fortunate to be part of a community and a nation
rich in blessings and traditions that are highlighted during this
time of year.
The true spirit of the holidays reflects a dedication to helping our
neighbors, giving hope to those who may need help, and spreading
peace and understanding throughout the world. We all share a
responsibility to help, both through our government and through
individual acts of compassion. In this season of giving, I hope you
will look for opportunities to donate and volunteer where the need
is greatest. By reaching out to someone in need, we make our
community a more just and generous place.
As we think of the importance of volunteering in our communities,
our thoughts also turn to the fearless and dedicated women and men
of our military – each of them also a volunteer. Each of these
courageous Americans have made the choice to not only defend our
freedom, but to also defend the cause of peace around the globe. May
God continue to bless our troops. May they each know of our
heartfelt thanks for their service and of our hopes that they will
safely return to their loved ones.
From Julie and I and our entire family, you have our best wishes for
a safe and peaceful Holiday season and a prosperous New Year.
