Barack Obama Christmas Message Urges Americans To Thank Troops (VIDEO)

As millions of Americans celebrate Christmas this year, President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama are asking them to keep service members and veterans in their minds.
"So this week lets give thanks for our veterans and their families," the president said in this week's weekly address with his wife at his side. "And lets say a prayer for all our troops -- especially those in Afghanistan -- who are spending this holiday overseas, risking their lives to defend the freedoms we hold dear."
Michelle Obama also urged Americans to think of military families.
"Across this country, military spouses have been raising their families all alone during those long deployments," she said. "And lets not forget about our military kids, moving from base to base -- and school to school -- every few years, and stepping up to help out at home when mom or dad is away."
