Post Thanksgiving Wish

Guys, as you sit down tomorrow for Thanksgiving with your families please say a prayer for the safety and well being of our soldiers abroad and their families. I don't know how many of you have been in their shoes.

Holidays on a deployment at best are unhappy. They'll get as good a meal as can be cooked in the field, the Senior NCOS will serve it to them with a smile and a "thanks for the hard work." They'll chow down trying not to think of their wife, children or family, toss their plate, pull on their battle rattle and head back out to patrol or whatever they can do to fill the void with work. Talk during the holidays gets terse and strained as people try not to think of what they're defending. But these men and women wouldn't be anywhere else because they know how important their work is.

Please say a prayer for them and theirs.
Thanks from an old soldier.

That's a great reminder on this day, Will.

God Bless those folks and keep them from harm. I wish there was truly a way we could make them feel just how much so many of us care..... The best we can do is pray to God to protect them and bring them home safely to their loved ones, soon. And pray that God gives wisdom to the people who lead this country and send our military into strange lands.

A Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving to all!
