Dear Readers,
Happy Thanksgivings to one and all. I hope that those of you that partake eat too much, drink too much, watch too much football, annoy the wife or girlfriend and crush it on your bets.
I also hope that you follow some type of tradition that remembers those that can't be with their loved ones because they made the ultimate sacrifice.
I personally never liked the glass of adult beverage at your favorite watering hole with a message saying that its reserved for whoever. Don't get me wrong, its a great gesture but I have always been told that we celebrate in public and morn in private.
That's why instead of gorging myself on left overs for a couple of days, I try and find a real deal homeless vet and give him a chance to try my cooking. This isn't for everyone and approaching a homeless person entails some risk but I haven't had a problem and it meshes with my personality and belief system.
However you do it, remember those that can't be with family, while in the service or having served our nation. Oh and have a happy thanksgiving!
Sincerely,
SNAFU!
