Volume 17, Prologue


    Dear army men.


    Army men know everything, so I have a question.


    Is Santa Claus real?


    John from my neighborhood says no. He says Santa would be caught by something called radar if he flew in the sky. John is smart and his dad is an army man, so maybe that is true.


    Claudia from the same institution says yes. But she says Santa is only one person and he is very busy this time of year, so she cried and said he won’t visit a poor institution like ours.


    I want to know if Santa Claus is real.


    I wish I could set up a camera, but I don’t have the money.


    Do you army men know Santa?


    Have you seen him on that thing called radar?


    ?


    If you have a chance to speak with him, can you tell him he can skip me but to give Claudia a present so she won’t cry?


    Please.
