How much do you think it cost for NORAD to provide this kind hearted service for all the kids in this country who celebrate Christmas. I'll et you they already have the Web space for the site. I'm sure they also have programmers that don't really have enough of a work load during the work day that can spend a little time doing this. Kids close you eyes. Santa is not real so all their monitoring equipment is not really being used. Light up.

NORAD doesn't do it; volunteers from NORAD do it on their own time.

Really. Other areas of our defense system get to put their best foot forward before the public, each branch of the military has bands that perform in parades, etc. Naval ships, and military aviators perform at shows and festivals, so why not let the folks at NORAD have a little glory shine on them, too?

Three cheers for all the people who work so hard to keep us safe! They deserve to be noticed every once in awhile by the public they protect.
