Last week, Americans were subjected to a stunning sight: Iran’s official state television released staged photos of detained U.S. service members on their knees with their hands on their heads.

Christmas time is a season of hope and a joy-filled time spent with family and friends. It’s a time to be generous as we take stock of our many blessings as Americans. It’s a time to trim the tree and take a drive around the neighborhood to see Christmas lights. It’s a time to sit together around a cozy fireplace.
