As everyone around the world (and yes, I am proud to say I have listeners around the world – and I thank each of you for tuning in) – as people gather around the world to celebrate the festive season – I really wanted to find a good audio-related story to tell. I found the perfect one, and that is what we are going to do today. We will learn about an important broadcast to both the troops abroad, but simultaneously to the Americans at home to boost morale and unite families around the world.
