As we celebrate the holiday season on this Christmas Eve, we remember all those away from their loved ones, families and friends.

A group of volunteer Navy submariner spouses supports our military — especially all submariners and their families — year-around by their online presence through a program called The Submerged Life.

We are indebted to them for sharing their thoughts on special love we may all want to send today and always.

Merry Christmas, and our sincere wishes for a safe and less-COVID-complicated-and-stressed 2021!
