This is a picture of me when I was able to go to Germany with my foreign exchange student. I had a great
time as you can see.

This year's Annual Jonathan Etterling Memorial Christmas Banquet made me feel the same way.  It was the
best we've had so far.  More veterans came with their families this year than ever before.  The food was great,
thanks to Dr. Grant Stevenson and his wife Marsha.  Food baskets and toys were given out, like always and
Santa even brought his better half with him this year.

Dr. Johnson, our State Representative, done an excellent job for us, we received several comments on how
well he did with his speech.  Everyone left the dinner with no complaints and in good spirits for Christmas.  
What more could we ask for.  The Lord came through for us in a big way, the people who's hearts He spoke
to was behind us all the way.  Thank you everyone for giving our veterans and their families the best
Christmas ever.  We hope that everyone will keep the Christmas spirit and get behind our veterans
throughout 2012.  God bless and have a God year.  You are, "Living With A Cause."
