Billy Joel wrote this song based on letters he received from troops serving in the combat zones.
Joel gave the song to a virtually unknown 21-year-old singer named Cass Dillon--a guy he chose because he wanted a singer the age of many of the troops in Iraq.
Check out "Christmas in Fallujah" here (with lyrics):

Let me know what you think of the song...I've already heard from one currently serving soldier,who Doesn't like it....and I'm still undecided, how I feel about it.

I missed where to find the lyrics?
I don't have speakers, yet!, so can't hear it, and my lipreading skills are apparently quite poor.
The lyrics show up on the video (for all the 'speakerless' folks, I guess:)
too bad you can't hear the tune,tho!
