If you live near a military base and have the opportunity next Thanksgiving (or
anytime during the year) , think about inviting a service man or woman into
your home to show them that they are truly appreciated. We live just down the
road from a tiny joint service base that has about 50 marines fresh out of
basic. It's 12 miles from the nearest fast food joint and they're only allowed
off base on weekends, and holidays. On Thanksgiving or Christmas, you don't
have to be in Baghdad to be lonesome. Every base has a community liaison
or public affairs office that can set it up. We own a horse ranch, and have a
decent shop, and we really love it when an 19 year old cowboy/cowgirl from
Oklahoma, or a gearhead from Kansas is in the mix - take a couple pictures to
give these great kids, and stick some in a card thanking their families for
such great kids. It gave us a whole new outlook on giving thanks.
