Tomorrow is Thanksgiving; 54 years ago, on this day, 200 thousand Chinese launched a surprise offensive against allied forces isolated around the Chosin Reservoir in North Korea, amid temperatures that dropped to twenty degrees below zero. For those of you who have ever stood a watch alone on Thanksgiving, far from home, you share an unspoken bond with service men and women abroad. Please say a prayer for all of your brethren, past and present, who served with honor and sacrifice on this holiday.

I have printed this out and will give to my dad to read,
thanks.
Chosin bump.
