During this holiday season, many American firefighters are doing double-duty for their country, serving as soldiers in Iraq, Afghanistan and other nations abroad. Readers of Command Post, FIRE CHIEF's weekly e-mail newsletter, have contributed the names of the soldiers on this list; these are sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, colleagues and friends, fathers and mothers in the fire-service family. To add a name, send an e-mail.

We invite readers to send holiday greetings to at least one of these soldiers serving abroad. A regular 44-cent stamp delivers cards and letters via military APO boxes in the United States. You also can reach some of these soldiers by e-mail.
