Just wanted to tell you I loved the Christmas poem for the troops and since you stated send to them I assumed that was permission. I printed it out on paper with a couple of Christmas decorations..and it is signed with your name with a little note from me on the bottom. I have done about 300 of them. Most of them went into a stocking that we in Operation Shoebox send every year. I first copied it on to a computer paper that was very expensive but next year I will do it where it doesn’t take up so much ink….but I know they will get a lot from that poem….the caring and remembrance. Thank you so much.

Yes, it is fine if you print it with my name included to send directly to the troops. That’s whom I wrote it for! But if you happen to read this reply and would send me a copy of it like you printed it, I do have a file of where this poem has been printed and published, and I would love a copy for my records!
