A BLUE CANDLE LIGHTING

[Alicia Texas mother of Chris/A blue candle mom]

Blue Candle Lighting on Christmas Day. Several have asked,,, is there a special blue candle? No
Several have asked how many days and how long.? The burning of the candle length is determined by the one lighting the candle.

Once, again this lighting of the blue candle represents the sailors, recruits and military that will not be joining their families during the holidays. This being done because we want to remember the families that are seperated. Some of our children and spouses are coming home and some are not so let us all remember the great sacrifice our men and women do in the service of our country.
Remember any kind of candle will do ,,,blue electric or wax. We thankyou and if you want to comment please do.. also RSVP your attendance if you are doing so in the Events.

Thanks to response from North and South Dakota we now have many numerous candles being lit across the entire United States. We also have one mom Burning in Ontario and oGuantanomo Bay the Dominican Republic Guan Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands and three will burn in ITALY at least...This is wonderful was out shopping two marines and one is headed to Pensacola Naval Air Station and the other just came from the Navy base in Norfork Va... they are working with a recruiter here and we invited them to lunch Christmas Day they didn't know if they are going to the Riverwalk or not but they have our number to join us if they wish... So Merry Christmas

Wonderful idea. I'll share it with friends and family and add it to our family traditions effective 12/25/08. I've always been thankful and appreciative of the sacrifice of the men and women in uniform - how nice to be able to have a visual reminder of the many who sacrifice for us all.
