So we have one more song for all of you,
and this song is special tonight because we have many veterans
in the room tonight.
And this last song is "I'll Be Home For Christmas."
And for those of you that don't know
I'll be home for Christmas was a song written during the 1940s
to commemorate the veterans that we're returning from the war
to be home for Christmas.
So we have a special guest here today,
Mr. Bertram who we would like to invite up here to this chair.
[INAUDIBLE] sing.
[LAUGHTER]
I love it.
I haven't had enough wine.
[LAUGHTER]
You're a good man.
Yes, sir.
Well, Mr. Bertram, you have been an incredible leader
for our country.
You've served such an honor during World War II.
And we are so grateful to be here today in your presence,
and for all you've done for our country.
So we would like to dedicate this last song to you.
My pleasure.
Likewise.
Thank you.
[APPLAUSE]
[MUSIC - "I'LL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS"]
(SINGING) I'll be home for Christmas.
You can count on me.
Please have snow and mistletoe.
And presents under the tree.
Christmas Eve will find me where the love light gleams.
I'll be home for Christmas if only in my dreams.
I'll be home.
I'll be home, if only in my dreams.
I'll be home.
I'll be home, if only in my dreams.
I'm dreaming of a place that I used to love.
Even more than I usually do.
And although I know it's a long road back,
I promise you I'll be home for Christmas.
You can count on me.
Please have snow and mistletoe, and presents under the tree.
Christmas Eve will find me where the love light gleams.
I'll be home for Christmas, if only in my dreams.
In my dreams.
I'll be home.
I'll be home, if only in my dreams.
