Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving. I'd like to give a special thank you to those of you near training posts who have adopted a soldier for the holiday, especially the one who will be taking care of my Josh today.

The only news that we spouses hear regarding the general population is the news of protests or the indifference of our country. There are currently a lot of our soldiers in training out of state. The base they're at is set up especially for training soldiers to go to Iraq, and the extra population is noticed by the locals. Josh was able to get off base to go to a civilian church on Sunday. Many families invited him to Thanksgiving, offering to pick him up at the base gate. This warms my heart more then they will ever understand. My husband was called to the service of his country and someone offered him kindness and fellowship.

Those for and against the war both claim their love and support for our troops. Today, someone put both their religious beliefs and their love and support for our troops into action. This family is truely following the example of Christ. May God bless this family.
