Santa Claus may not be sliding down the chimneys of good boys and girls around the world until Dec. 25, but WWE has a heartfelt, sincere gift for our fans to open a few hours early.

This Monday night, WWE's family invites you and your loved ones to spend a special Christmas Eve with the men and women of the Armed Forces in Iraq, as WWE presents its 5th Annual Tribute to the Troops. This very special edition of Monday Night Raw -- WWE's most important broadcast of the year -- is WWE's way of bringing the troops home to you for the holidays.

WWE's Tribute to the Troops is truly one of a kind, as it is the only entertainment event broadcast from Iraq. Since 2003, WWE has traveled to the Middle East to serve up a slice of Americana to those serving in the Armed Forces, and the Superstars, who make their living fighting in the squared circle, extend a thank you to those who fight for their country each and every day.

Since the troops can't physically be with their families, WWE's tribute gives them a chance to send some holiday love back home. At a time when family is most cherished, the WWE family brings some love to those overseas who have sacrificed these irreplaceable moments to defend our way of life.

If you're a diehard WWE fan, have loved ones serving in the military or just love to be entertained, you won't want to miss WWE's 5th Annual Tribute to the Troops. Tune in to USA Network this Monday night for your slice of Holiday cheer.
