  Mr. SESSIONS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of The Armed Forces 
and Their Families on this Christmas and Holiday Season, with a poetic 
tribute by Albert Carey Caswell. Let us remember their selfless 
sacrifice, and give a prayer of thanks for those who are separated by 
death and distance this Christmas.

     Silent Night
     Holy Night
     As a magnificent hero lays down their life all is Bright
     As our Lord smiles at their light all is Calm
     All is Bright
     Way up in heaven where your soul took flight! Round Yon 
           Virgin Mother and Child
     While, all in her tears your Mother so remembers your smile 
           Holy Infant so tender and mild
     As once all in your Mother's arms the while
     Now sleep in heavenly peace my child
     As your war is over my Daughter, my Son
     Silent Night
     Holy Night
     As your family and your loved ones so miss you this night 
           Silent Night
     But, your new battle has just begun
     As an Angel in The Army of Our Lord, my Daughter my Son All 
           is Calm
     All is Bright
     And we will hear you on the wind
     And we will sleep in Heavenly Peace
     As we awake knowing you are watching over us as where you've 
           been Until, we meet you once again in heaven where all 
           is bright
     And your Brothers and Sisters in Arms will live a good life
     For you their best friend by remembering your light Silent 
           Night
     Holy Night
     All is Calm
     All is Bright
     All because of The Men and Women of The Armed Forces, and 
           Their Families who fight the fight
     All is Bright
     Sleep in Heavenly Peace
     Amen
