US Marine Composes Touching Christmas Song For His Wife [VIDEO]

"A Marine's Christmas Song"

Marine Corps Master Sgt. Robert Allen, deployed to Camp Leatherneck, Afghanistan, plays a song he wrote for his wife for Christmas.

Allen joins the thousands of military men and women deployed this holiday season in support of counterinsurgency efforts in Afghanistan. He said he hopes his Christmas song "will help people understand that though we're willing to do it, it's still heartbreaking."
