THIS Year

This is the picture of pure joy on a child's face (my child's face) when her daddy returned home from deployment, having spent many important days away from us.  I am thankful that THIS year all four of us get to wake up under the same roof in the same safe country, sit down at the table together, and eat a meal that many in the world could only dream of.  We are blessed beyond comprehension.  Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

    Oorah Lisa. As a former Marine (British) this photo says it all. We are so blessed and I think many truly forget it. Happy Thanksgiving to you, your family and indeed all Americans.
