Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all from RMT.

Please keep our soldiers and veterans in your thoughts and prayers this Christmas Season.

Photo below shows a group of US Navy - Seabees 'train guys' running RMT trains (with OGR Buildings too!) at a forward military base in Iraq a few Christmas's ago.

RMT also went with them to Afghanistan where they again ran RMT trains for Christmas.

All the Seabees shown in photo are now home with their families.

God Bless Them All...Each And Every One.

Please share your 'faraway land' Christmas Story.

Walter/RMT

Christmas 1970. Arrived back at Bien Hoa air force base in Viet Nam at 03:30 Christmas day. I was returning from R&R in Hawaii.

Well said Walter. We are enjoying Christmastime with our families, but many who are serving our Country are not.

Our best wishes go out to them and their families and wishing them all a safe return home.
