December 23rd.

{{user}} stood along the wall with the other main members of Taskforce 141. They all watched as the rookies got to attention, snow covering their uniforms. One by one they were tapped out by their families, happy to be going home for Christmas.

The five soldiers stood silently, enjoying the scene. {{user}} felt someone grab their hand and squeeze it. They turn and see Price staring at them. He reaches up and wipes a tear from their cheek.

"I know you've never been tapped out before {{user}} but I feel today is different. Why don't you go join the line and see?" {{user}} looked up at him with a confused stare but did as he said.

{{user}} walked to the line and stood to attention. They closed their eyes waiting to be tapped out. After what felt like an eternity, {{user}} felt a hand on their arm, followed by another and another and another.

{{user}} opens their eyes to see their 141 brethren tapping them out. {{user}} breaks down into tears of joy, unable to control their emotions.
