Well faithful readers, another year is almost gone, and we have arrived at the eve of the day that the Turkeys hate with all their hearts. I am most definately talking about Thanksgiving day!!!! If you got to listen to us flap our jaws today on the Watchmen.FM you have already heard most if not all of what I am going to say here. My good friend and partner Bob, stated very eloquently today that in spite of all the failings and problems in our great land, we still have many wonderful and great things to be thankful for. In our cases, we have Family, Friends, and Freedoms that most people in this world will never know. Can you even imagine how many countries exist on our planet that to do what Bob and I do every week on our show would mean a death sentence if it was done there. I have been in countries that to even say you were unhappy with the government meant a prison sentence at the very least, and the prisons there are not the country clubs with sattelite TV that you have in this county. We have these freedoms because in the distant past, the not so distant past and even now in our present times, our brave men and women in the service leave their homes and their families and go to fight and possibly die to ensure that you and I have these freedoms. If you pass a soldier, or a veteran on the street, do not forget to take a second out of your busy day to thank them for their service and their sacrifice that they willingly gave for all of us that enjoy those freedoms that we enjoy today. The short time that you give up to tell them how much you appreciate what they did, is nothing to what they gave up for you!!!! Please keep these fine ladies and gentlemen in your prayers every day, not just special days like this. I myself can not thank all these fine patriots enough. Lastly, I am thankful that I am able to sit and write my thoughts and feelings of my pride and love for the wonderful country that Bob and I and so many millions of others have had the good fortune to be born into. I also have to say that I am also thankful for the fact that you fine people take the time to listen to us, and take your time to read what we write in various venues in the hope that in some small way we may be part of saving and improving our country for our children and grandchildren.
Finally it is my pleasure to be able to say HAPPY THANKSGIVING to all our friends and countrymen, from our families to you and yours!!!!
