"Soldier Man"
My son made me a soldier man many years ago when he was in Cub Scouts. He is now 30. This past Christmas I decided it was time to recreate the soldier and give them as gifts to all my friends in a tribute to my son and all the soldiers across the land that are defending our country so that we may live free and share the spirit of Christmas.
