Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick will be visiting American troops deployed to the Middle East for Christmas.

The Republican will spend his third Christmas overseas with troops, but his office declined to give specific locations, aside from stating his visit would include locations in the CENTCOM’s area of responsibility.

According to his office, Fitzpatrick will receive “classified briefings from military generals regarding ongoing military operations, and spending time with native Pennsylvanians serving in all branches of the U.S. military who are deployed across the Middle East.”

Fitzpatrick, who served in Iraq while a member of the FBI,  has made a commitment to spend the holidays with troops overseas.
