For a Marine On Christmas Day
By Katy Zastrow DuBois ( To the tune of ” Here Comes Santa Claus ” )

I miss my Marine! I miss my Marine!
Here on Christmas Day
He’s not back, he’s in Iraq
And for a while, he will stay
Standing proud and tall, the best of all!
He’s never afraid, it would seem!
It’s why I say, on Christmas Day
” Give me a United States Marine! “

Down and dirty, it’s zero-dark thirty
And he’s gone for a run
But he’s over there, at God knows where
And I’m sure it’s not much fun
With boots that shine, it makes me pine
Always looking good, it would seem
It’s why I say, on Christmas Day
” Give me a United States Marine! “

I still smile, though it’s been a while
He fights for me and you
He fights for all, and for the call
Of the great Red, White, and Blue!
There is no doubt, he’d never pout
It’s an honor for him, it would seem
It’s why I say, on Christmas Day
” Give me a United States Marine! “

I’m so proud of him!  I’m so proud of him!
Our men, and women too
Marines we love, they’re a cut above
Their integrity so true!
Think of them all, while you deck the hall
A tribute owed, it would seem
We’ve all been blessed! And why?- you guessed!
” Thank a United States Marine! “

Thank You and Merry Christmas to all our Marines,( Sailors, Soldiers, and Airmen too ! ), especially those of you deployed! Thank You to all our Veterans! Our thoughts are with you during this holiday season- if it weren’t for all of you , and all you do for us, we wouldn’t be here today to celebrate. God Bless You! - Katy
