Thankfulness
There are many things that we can be thankful for this Thanksgiving. I recommend that one of those things we be our armed forces and our emergency responders. They've cared for us in the past as well as the present, and I hope they will continue their courageous service in the future. Many of them are not able to sit at a table with their families this year, and some will never be able to again. We should be thankful for the families who have relinquished their members for service, for a season or forever, as these families and the servicemembers they produced are among our greatest national treasures. We salute you, and wish you a happy Thanksgiving.
