DEL.ICIO.USDecorating for Christmas
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Across Iraq, members of the 48th BCT are joining the holiday spirit, with trees and yuletide decorations brightening drab tents.
Staff Sgt. Gordon Spears, 42, Blairsville, Ga., of the 121st Infantry, was grateful for items sent from home.
“You’re looking at the support back home in Georgia. This tree, the gifts under it, and the decorations were sent to us. You couldn’t ask for better support than the people in Georgia” Spears said.

I want to say thank you to the 48th for allowing me to volunteer at your christmas party. It was a pleasure to meet your wives and children. To the two and the SGT Major who talked to us the most thank you.
You are in my prayers and thoughts everyday!

Hey Jenni, saw Joe, loved the tree you sent him. The GI Joe is my hubby’s, so it’s pretty neat to see some of the stuff I sent in the picture as well. Also all of our guys should be receiving a stocking over the next couple of weeks. All of the children at my school made a stocking for the soldiers in 1/121 and my husband is handing them out like he’s Santa Claus. I’ll share pics when I receive some. Thank you to everyone who made a stocking; the soldiers have enjoyed receiving them!
