I, like all of you, have a LOT to be thankful for, especially in these trying and perplexing times. So, I will not list those that are most obvious, rather, I will single out and emphasize the two subjects for which I feel I have the most gratitude and, I believe, are the two most valuable to me.
First: I am thankful that God has seen fit to make me aware of Him and to desire to please Him in my life. This is evidence, not the cause, that I am a child of God, chosen before the foundation of the world to be just heirs with Christ in Eternity. This belief in God's divine will, and faith in the work of Christ has instilled within me a view of life that no man can imagine having no faith or believing not. It is simply a burden lifted from my soul.
Second: I am forever deeply indebted to, and eternally thankful for the individual American's who saw a need greater than their own, felt the urge to be a part of the solution, and who, in abject disregard for their own desires and selfish intuitions, became a member of the Armed Forces of the United States, the ever faithful and aware butress against those who would do us harm. These heroes make America possible and real. Without them and their predecessors, the word AMERICA, would be unknown in the world. We would be something other than the free nation we still are. And they, exclusively, have insured that reality for over 230 years. To our soldiers in uniform, to our agents undercover, to the cooks and the riflemen, Thank you from the bottom of my heart and soul. You are truly, FOREVER FAITHFUL.
Semper Fidelis!!
