* denotes that there is a discrepancy as to where this man is actually from,
one source said Maine, another Florida.


The holidays have come and gone. Another winter is (almost) past.
Still, at LEAST one man still waits for his Christmas, for his Valentine,
for his Easter. How long? How long must this man (or quite possibly
these men) wait before getting to celebrate a holiday at home with the
family they left behind so long ago, so selflessly? Let's work together
to return these men to their native soil, so they don't have to spend
another holiday without their families.
