Christmas Tress in Iraq?

I was assigned to cover a story on this Soldier who’s father sent over 150 Christmas trees to our camp. It was so awesome. We drove around the camp and gave every unit a tree. People were so excited… it was like a piece of home was with us on Christmas. We also had a bunch of decorations and people would have contests with one another to see who decorated their tree the best. He also sent over a bunch of steaks and grills for a nice Christmas dinner. A picture that I took ended up in the New York Times.
