FREMONT — Tamera Johnson has no planned holiday hoopla. There will be no eggnog, presents, or caroling.

Instead, she will be alone at home with a “Hungry Man” TV dinner meal waiting anxiously for what is Christmas to her — telephone calls from both of her sons. But she said she’s used to it as a military mom.

“My phone call is Christmas,” Johnson said. “Our holidays are over the phone. There’s a lot of families who don’t get a phone call because they’re dead. Every day’s a holiday when you talk to your soldier.”

Her Army sons are Sgt. Seth Wagner, 27, a flight medic with the 1st Air Calvary Brigade at Fort Hood, Texas, and Spc. Shawn Wagner, 22, a combat medic with the 101st Airborne Division at Fort Campbell, Ky.
