I got up early to start cooking,turned on the TV for company and the first thing I saw was the report on the attacks in Africa. I waited to see if the alert status here in the US would be raised, and it wasn't.

As the morning went on, interviews and taped greetings with service men and women from all over the world were being broadcast to us here in the states...from Ramstein, and Bagram, from the decks of air craft carriers.It was better than the parade!

Our security and our joy of being with family, travelling freely, of just going about our lives, is a gift to us bought at great cost, not just to the men and women of the service, but the families that love them and miss them, and the parents who raised their children to love our country and serve. It is truly humbling to receive such a gift. We thank God for you. Have a blessed Thanksgiving!

Thanks for dropping in to help thank and honor our troops. I sure am glad that some of the media is getting a clue and broadcasting our troops greetings back home.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
