I refuse to bring politics into the celebration of a great holiday. I am grateful that I was born in a country that is free, that has respect for individuality and the opinions of others. I am grateful for those who are giving their lives in foreign countries to help ensure that we continue to have a free society. I do regret that there are many who are equally as lucky, but fail to recognize it.

I hope all Mudcatters who celebrate Thanksgiving have a good one, that they are surrounded by folks that they love on this very special day.
