THE FIRST PILGRIM THANKSGIVING OF 1621



HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

If you woke up this morning with more health than
one illness,  you are more blessed than the million
who will not survive this week.  

     If you have never experienced the danger of battle,
     the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of
     torture, or the pangs of starvation,  you are ahead
     of 500 million people in the world.

     If you can attend a church meeting without fear of
     harassment, arrest, torture, or death,  you are more
     blessed than three billion people in the world.

     If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on
     your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep,  you
     are richer than 75% of this world.

     If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and
     spare change in a dish someplace,  you are among the
     top 8%  of the world's wealthy.

     If your parents are still alive and still
     married,  you are very rare, even in the United States.

     If you hold up your head with a smile on your face
     and are truly thankful... you are blessed because although
     the  majority can, most do not.

     If you can read this message, you just received a
     double blessing in that someone was thinking of you,
     and furthermore, you are more blessed than over two
     billion people in the world that cannot read at all.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

My duties for tonight are completed.
Its my best pecan pie in 3 years.
The pumpkin pie came from the jack-o-lantern we carved from the pumpkin patch a few miles out of town,
and I make one of the best pineapple upside down cakes you will ever eat.
The frog eye salad is still swelling in the fridge and will be mixed together in the morning just after the turkey goes in the oven.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!

Hello to all my FRiends! If I missed your name on my ping list, it's because I am blessed with more of you than I can remember at once, so please, take no offense. Sorry it's been so long since I've popped my head in to say "HELLO", but I am sort of busy.

My crew, and a few others, has been permanently "re-deployed" to Sigonella, Sicily to support PATRON 45 (the "PELICANS") in operation ENDURING FREEDOM. We'll be here for te remainder of our deployment, flying operations patrolling the Mediterranean for "bad guy" merchant ships smuggling "bad guy stuff", both to Europe and the Middle East. We also do "other missions", which I can't talk about, but which I fear I'll have a hard time forgetting. I wish I could.

Our missions can last up to 20 hours of flying in hostile areas with no support or backup. They are stressful, cold, and scary. We fly against people who would like nothing better than to kill us, and we do it unarmed...we have no pistols, rifles, missiles, or bombs. We don't know why that is, but we do our jobs, anyway. Always trust, we will do that no matter what. We always keep in mind just who we are protecting, and how much worse some other Soldiers and Sailors and Marines have it than we do.

I'd like to say "THANK YOU" to all the FReepers who have pinged, FReepmailed, and just thought good wishes to me, I have read all your mails and pings that I could, which regrettably is not many, given the circumstances. Please know that they all are appreciated. Woahhs, I guess you don't need to send out that search party!

For those who know, I am still working on that novel I began a couple of months ago, and I'm about two-thirds done, with some research and writing to be completed when I get back Stateside. I've shown it to some of the lads, and they all like it.

Mrs. Cut and Mini Cut, who are today with Mrs. Cut's family in Maine celebrating Thanksgiving, are very well, and in the warmth of joyful relatives. There are, I'm told, no less than four new babies at their little celebration, so everyone's as happy as they could be.

I wish to God I was there.

Anyhoo, please do me a big favor and raise a glass to all of us overseas today, as we will (if able) to you. I hope every one of you has a safe, healthy, and happy Holiday season. And please, don't worry...

...We're watching your backs.

Happy Thanksgiving ~ Bump!
