Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. Today is the big day to be with family and friends to give thanks for everything....God, family, friends and this great country. I give thanks to God for my family, now 15 strong, all healthy & happy. My friends, some I have known for 50 years, are all honorable, honest & patriotic men and women. This great country, which is a beacon of freedom to the world shows what can happen when a group of people are free and stand as one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.

We saw a movie the other night called "Taking Chances" starring Kevin Bacon as a Lt Col in the Marine Corps who volunteers to escort the body of a Marine private home who was KIA in Iraq to a small town south of Billings, MT. It was based on a true story and very moving for as he made the trip everyone treated him and especially the fallen Marine with great respect. When I see a movie like this based on a true story it is Thanksgiving everyday, not just once a year. For regardless of where we come from we are Americans from sea to shinning sea.

Everyone have a wonderful Thanksgiving and pray for our troops.
