Thanksgiving is traditionally a time when we gather as families to reflect on our blessings, and focus on our gratitude for them.  Because of that focus on family, spending Thanksgiving separated from loved ones is often tough for military members and families.

As you gather with your family to reflect on your blessings, please take a moment to say a prayer and a Happy Thanksgiving for our troops serving away from home on the holiday.  Let them know you are grateful for their sacrifice, spending their holiday separated from their families so that you can enjoy yours in peace.
