Happy Thanksgiving!

WWII troops watching the cook prepare their Thanksgiving turkeys.  I've talked with a couple of WWII combat veterans (one in Europe, the other in the Pacific) who told me that the Thanksgiving dinners they got in the field were one of their best memories of their wartime experiences.  In the case of the Pacific War veteran, he was a runner during the invation of Tarawa - and even in the midst of intense combat he got a turkey dinner with all the trimmings.  He tells me that reminder of what he left back home - under threat from Japan - was a big motivator for him.

From Debbie and I, our wishes for a happy Thanksgiving day for all of our readers...
