Forget about the Philharmonic orchestra, or the Mormon Tabernacle. Christmas songs can now take a different twist, as done by US Navy band AND the US Army band and.... Music can't get much better than this.
The Navy made those strings giggle.
And then there is the Army:
The third branch is the "President's Own US Marine band", which has played at functions for all presidents except Pres. George Washington.
And, finally, are the US Singing Sergeants of United Air Force.
These are only part of the music from the military. Non-political, these talented musicians serve in their own way. God gifted them for His Purpose.
Christmas is theoretically over, but it is not. Music keeps it alive and reminds me that Branches of the Military are filled with talented men and women. They uphold the Constitution and protect our country.
These wonderful human beings give more than just their courage, but they always give themselves to those around them. Sing on, sing with them.
