I believe that we could all gather at a big round table and develop a very long list of blessings to be thankful for, and there would be a heckuvalot of "oh yeah, sign ME up for that one too!" At the top of that list should reside the very large category encomapassing the freedoms we enjoy in the greatest nation on God's green earth, the U.S.A. To live, breath, and "take it in" is a direct result of the sweat, toil, and lives sacrificed by not only our fore-fathers, but the brave and courageous souls fighting as I pen this memo. Without this sacrifice, many of the other reasons to be thankful simply would not exist. God bless the women, men, and families of our military.
