A White Christmas is a reality back here at home! I hope this day finds you over there in a moment of peace amongst the chaos. May your day bring happiness and wonderful remembrance of yours back home...

SPORTS UPDATE:

Last year during our Super Bowl run, our long snapper Greg Warren injured his knee for the season. Jered Retkofsky, who worked for a moving company, replaced him. Jered earned himself a Super Bowl Ring with his outstanding play! He was cut this year; he went back to moving Americans to their new homes around the country. His Super Bowl Ring swayed many customers to select Jered and his company for their movers of choice.

On the last play of the game last week, with no time left on the Clock, Jeff Reed kicked the extra point that won the game, but bad luck struck Greg Warren again; he injured his knee again and is out for the season. Warren himself called Jered to tell him the good and the bad news. Jered's phone rang again, the Steelers calling! Just in time for Christmas Jered's income spiked, and his passion is giving him one more opportunity; not everyone gets two chances in this competitive discipline that is populated with big money and monster men.

The reason I tell you Jered's Christmas story today, is because he was so kind, along with Matt Spaeth and Rashard Mendenhall, to pose for the portrait showing their support for you the troops, moreover, the whole Pittsburgh Steelers organization expressed their support for you, the troops! I shot this portrait of these men last year in Dan Rooney's office during the Pep Rally, which was just days before they left for the Super Bowl. They all returned with the Sixth Super Bowl Trophy for this great team, SIXBURGH!

Keep your head down,

Henry Hill, Pittsburgh Pennsylvania
