Thank you Tom. I offer the same to all GBO authors, readers and members!!

 One bit of news I herd today here in Connecticut. We like many states, have a local food share program, where anyone can donate non parishable food and frozen turkeys for the needy. I herd that there was an 18% increase in the number of people donating this season and was glad... then I herd that the NEEDY side, looking for food had rose almost 40%...

I'll be praying for those less well off, be thankful for what we have and hope that we as a nation get thru these tough economic times quickly. Not to mention all our troops that will be away from there families this holiday season. May they safely and quickly return home.

And I too say Happy Thankgiving to all here on GBO.  All the troops past and present need to be given a big Thanks for the freedom we enjoy.  I am Dir. of Operations for a private non-profit agency that helps people with basic needs, ie. rent, utilities, food, prescriptions, ect. and we have seen a large increase in clients.  For the month of Nov, we will have had to turn away 40% of those asking for assistance because we have to many to see with the people I have working for me.  On top of that we handed out over 1200 Thanksgiving food boxes for people that signed up with us.  Full meals, from the turkey to the cranberry sauce.  We now have over 1400 families signed up for Christmas boxes and will provide at least 3 gifts for all children under the age of 18 with those food boxes.  I only have a crew of 15, so this is a slamming time of year for us.  My agency has been around since 1906, and it looks like we won't be going anywhere for a long time as long as we can continue to get donations and receive grants as we don't get any Government money.  Sorry to ramble on, Holidays bring that out with me.  Gonna try to fill some more deer tags in the next 3 days, then our deer season is over.  Best to all here, and thank you all that make this site happen.  DP

Happy Thanksgiving to all.  Especially the Troops and Vets.

What Is A Veteran?
A 'Veteran' -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve -- is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his life.' That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today who no longer understand that fact.

I have every reason to be thankful to God today for what he has enabled me to do in my lifetime.  I  am a free man with the right to speak out.  I'm proud to have served in the finest Navy in the world for 7 years during one of our most difficult times.  I have a modest home on lands I can hunt, and all I own is paid for.  I don't have 4 wheelers, snow machines, fancy boats or other big toys, but I'm not paying for them either.  I've got an old 89 Jeep Pickup farm truck and snow shoes that get me around the place and a canoe.  I have a wife I love and am loved in return.  We love Our Lord and know we are loved by him.  Happy Thanksgiving to all of you here.
