Happy Thanksgiving

I'm taking a break today to spend time with family and friends. I hope all of you are too. While giving thanks today, in whatever manner you do so, remember to be thankful that you made it back!

Take a moment to be thankful that we have young men and women, all over the world willing to be away from their homes and, possibly, make the ultimate sacrifice for our country. I think one of the silver linings of Vietnam is that we have learned not to blame the soldier for decisions made by others. Whatever your views are on this war or that, remember those who are away, and most likely very homesick, this Thanksgiving 2011.
