To all of you and your families.
Special thanks goes out to those serving in uniform, both Stateside and overseas, both on the battlefield and off, and on sea and land.
I spent 20 years in uniform, close to 9 of those years overseas, so trust me when I tell you Thanksgiving to military folks overseas is a special time.
Even in faraway locations such as Japan and the Philippines, when we had to watch the Thanksgiving Day games starting at midnight Friday morning, it was a time to get together with friends and watch the great American pastime and way of life that we volunteered to defend.
Should be a good day to watch football, now that there are 3 games today and tonight.
Gotta allocate some time for the obligatory nap after stuffing myself, though.
See everyone tomorrow for the Pens/Isles gameday post.
