As we approach the holidays and the close of another year, this gingerbread house represents something deeper than a sweet tradition to me –it's a symbol of home and the warmth we create wherever we gather with those we care about.

Having served abroad and spent many holidays far from family, I learned that home isn't just a place –it's the connections we build and maintain across any distance. Some of my most cherished holiday memories come from make shift celebrations in far-off places, where fellow service members became family and simple gestures of care meant everything.

Those sweet moments, whether near or far, have become the foundation of my most lasting memories.
