A realistic vertical 9:16 video filmed outdoors at night.
A middle-aged U.S. veteran in winter military clothing stands quietly under falling snow near a military base.
Christmas lights glow faintly in the distance.
Cold breath visible in the air.
He looks into the camera and speaks:
"People think Christmas is about comfort.
For us, it was about duty.
Someone always stayed behind."
Subtle ambient wind sound mixed with slow patriotic instrumental music.
Cold blue lighting outdoors, serious and respectful mood.
Realistic handheld footage, no movie style, no AI artifacts.
