II don't near right now in

your wish what would you want p

-. Well, that is different. I'd
want to be home with my wife
and baby. I'd want it to be snow

the ground. The house would be
warm and my wife would be cook
ing while the baby was playing

whiskey then, just my wife; my
baby, and a good meal coming
up. Boy that would be something"
the soldier said.
Now what would you like
for Christmas?" I asked another
soldier standing nearby.
~ would like to be surrounded
by about ten beautiful girls. All
of them in love with me, and all
making over me. I would want to
just look at them, feel them and
see if they We're real. Il would
say to one of them bring me some
of that chicken; and to another
bring me another drink; and I
would just relax. eating, drink
ing and looking That is what I
would like for Christmas, said
he.
What would you like?", I
then asked of another.
I'm completely satisfied now
he answered. II never thought /
would see the United States again
I've had fever three times. and
this rain and heat just about
drove me crazy. God has been
good to me-
I asked another soldier the
same question and he answered,
saying: Il would like to get my
discharge as soon as 1 hit the
states. I wish I didn't ever have
to return to my home in the south.
I have had enough of it. If I had
my wish, I'd want them to dis
charge me and then 1 could get
a job up north where Freedom
is not just a word; where they
try to practice what they preach.
That would be what I want for
Christmas"
A soldier touched me on my
arm, drawing my attention. "You
have been asking us what we
want for Christmas. Tell us what
you want for Christmas if you
could have what you wanted? !"
The first thought that came 70
me was Of course my home. The
wife and baby that I had not
seen in two years. The soft bed
that I could rest in, all the COM
forts Of home; all the love of my
wife and baby. All of this I want
ed for Christmas so dearly.
I looked about me and again
saw all the poverty and filth that
surrounded me. Yes. I knew what
I wanted for Christmas.
