When I was young, my most beloved Thanksgiving memories are of the fantastic turkey aroma in the air, setting the table, Mom and Dad, grandparents over, my sister and brother, dad and the other men watching Oklahoma play Nebraska, then the big dinner - absolutely wonderful!

When I married, my happiest memories are of my wife and I making our own traditions - i.e. cooking the turkey at midnight to 4am, watching “Miracle on 34th St.” while waiting, setting the table, our kids growing up and that their favorite thing was mashed potatoes - they fought over them - Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade on the TV, then watching some football (unfortunately OU no longer plays Nebraska on Thanksgiving anymore). Wonderful memories.

I remember in the years 1942—1945 my Sister and Mom always invited some G-I’s who had served in Italy, home for Thanksgiving. I was only about 12-13 but some of the tales they could tell, and how they all appreciated Thanksgiving Dinner at home.God Bless the USA.
