I am thankful for the man or woman who stands on that rocky hillside many hundreds of miles from home. He longs for the feel of a longbow or recurve in his hands and a tree stand in a woodlot but instead he holds a weapon of war in a place he does not want to be. He wants to be home today with his family more than anything but instead he is on guard for you and me. Today I am most thankful for the rock, ditch, sandbag or distance that provides him cover from harm.
God bless and protect the American soldier, wherever you are.
