Ryan Delivers Christmas Message to the Troops: ‘We All Owe Our Men and Women in Uniform an Enormous Debt’ (The Washington Free Beacon)

House Speaker Paul Ryan (R., Wis.) released a holiday video message Saturday to U.S. military members across the globe, reading letters from Americans wishing them a Merry Christmas and thanking the troops for their service.

"We are so lucky in this country to celebrate Christmas during a time of peace and we all owe our men and women in uniform an enormous debt of gratitude for what they do to keep us safe," Ryan said.

Ryan sent an email two weeks ago asking for people to respond with a message honoring the troops and wishing them happy holidays, and he said the response was "overwhelming."
