Even though I am in Iraq this thanksgiiving. I have so much to actually be thankful for. As of to date our unit has not actually lost anyone. I am thankful that each and everyone one of you can enjoy thanksgiving. Be glad that you are able to celebrate with family and friends. I would also like to state that make sure you don't make up excuses why you can't do anything because us over here can't do anything at all which means each day is a day gone by that can't be made up. Enjoy everything you can and everyone you can. Be thankful to be around family and friends which we can't. I personally am thankful that we are here so others can have a life back home. I have missed so many plays, holidays, birthdays, anniversaries including my own, and there is so much more I have missed. Don't worry bout money because money doesn't bring happiness. Family, Friends, and events mean something. Everyone takes it for granted. I am thankful I have a wife that cares and family and friends that are there for me and them. There is so much to be thankful for.
