From mine to yours: Merry Christmas🎄

The Christmas season gives us reason to pause and reflect upon the things that matter most in our lives—like our family, friends, faith, and values. It’s also a time to take stock in our blessings—one of the most noteworthy of which is living in the greatest country on Earth. I render my thanks to the men and women across our nation who shape America’s greatness, especially those in our Armed Services who are keeping our country safe and protecting the freedoms that we hold dear.
