Those folks are kickin butt in a right proper manner and for that I am grateful and will set a place at my dinner table tomorrow for those in harms way who could'nt be home with their family and friends. We do that every year as my parents did it for me and my brother while we were active duty so we continue the tradition.

BTW........

In 90/91 during Desert Shiled & Desert Storm a Butcher Shop in Washington state had sent a bunch of care packages to the any Soldier , Sailor ,Airman ,Marine program. They continue to do so today. Some of the very best jerky one can get anywhere. I finally tracked down the guy and his wife today and would like all to at least call him and thank him as his family owned business is still doing it for GI's deployed today !

my dinner table for those in harm's
way tomorrow too.

We will have two such place settings at our table on Thanksgiving - one for each of our sons in uniform abroad on that day.

Thanks for reminding us.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Day.

There Are Good People Still In This Country
