[bobbiwoz]

Happy Thanksgiving!

Love,
Bobbi

 

[wildernessDad]

Happy Thanksgiving, all!

 

[Muushka]

lisaviolet! The Moose looks great on you!!!

And to all the different Mooses? Moose? posted on this thread, keep 'em coming! They are soooo cute.

And to all of our groupie members, a heartfelt Happy Thanksgiving to you and your families.

All of you are counted as one of things in my life that I am thankful for.

 

[Island Mouse]

Lurk no more and by all means grab a Moose!! Exclusivity is not something we are very good at!

Island Mouse, thank you for that very special picture. I will have to show it to my husband, he loves that stuff!
And I second everything Granny said.
Oh, and that Moose looks great on you!!

PS Where in Epcot is the happy event going to take place?

We are having the ceremony in the courtyard of the Germany pavilian in WS, then the reception at the living seas in the vip room. My fiance and I met when we were both stationed in Germany back when we were in the military, so we thought it would be special if we got married in Epcot Germany.

 

[Island Mouse]

Happy Thanksgiving to all the groupies!!!

 

[lisaviolet]

lisaviolet! The Moose looks great on you!!!

Aaah thanks Muushka. Looks so good that I might clear out the others to give him more even more oooomph.

 

[lisaviolet]

Aaah so beautiful. So beautiful.

 

[Granny]

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!!

Have a safe and blessed holiday!

It has been quite a long time since I have posted but I felt the need for coming "home" or at least as close to home as I can. This Thanksgiving Day is different from any others I have had. I am currently deployed to Iraq and, for the first time, away from family during this holiday. The holidays are a trying and depressing time for the majority of us here and I have seen it on people's faces all week long. It is even more trying for many of use due to the lengthened deployment of 15 months so we know we will be doing the same thing next year. But, this is a day to be thankful and I am trying to focus on that. So, here are some of the things I am thankful for:

1.The freedom to go to religious services of my choice
2.My beautiful and healthy daughters, Emily and Alexis
3.My incredible husband of 16 years, Rich, who is truly the best daddy in the world
4.My mother, step dad, brothers, sisters, in-laws, and all the other family members and friends all over the country and world.
5.The health of all my family members and especially for my mother-in-law who is a ALL/AML survivor x 3 years. Every day is a blessing.
6.Internet and the ability to stay in contact with my family through webcam
7.Being stationed at a relatively safe post
8.Comfortable living quarters
9.Running water
10.A bathroom "in" my living quarters
11.Great eating facility and gym on my post
12.My bicycle so I don't have to depend on the bus system on the post
13. Knowing I only have to spend one more Thanksgiving in Iraq
14. Freedom to vote
15. My fellow soldiers, most of whom are living in much more austere conditions and in more danger on a daily basis than I - Thank You for your service and sacrifices!

And, of course, having the ability to afford and go to Disney World yearly and to the disboards for just being another way of feeling like I am at "home."

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you for serving our country and for giving of yourself for me and my freedom. I hope you have a good Thanksgiving. Your list is so great! My DH served 32 years in the Air National Guard and he is now retired. He became a different person after serving in the Gulf. No Bibles allowed. Those of us who have never left the USA have no idea how blessed we are to live here. My grandson was adopted from an orphanage in Russia when he was 13 months old. They had no diapers, no soap, no bottles, no milk, no baby food, no medicine. How blessed we are that GOd placed him in our family. He is just an awesome little boy. He is the first little boy in the photos below with the blonde hair.

I pray for you and our troops today and for peace. God bless you today and always and thanks to all of you for serving. I am humbled.

Susan

DIZZNY, words cannot express what you and your fellow soldiers mean to us.

And how grateful we are for you.

And that we have our freedom, which we all cherish, because of our military.

A heartfelt thanks, from very a grateful us.

With our love and utmost respect, Barb and Chuck

 

[Granny]

DIZZNY...others more eloquent than myself have done a great job at expressing our thanks and humble appreciation for what you and your fellow Americans in the armed services are doing every day.

We all know how much we have to be thankful for in our lives, and it is appropriate to include you and all who protect our lives and freedoms in our list of thanksgiving.

God bless you, and best wishes for a safe holiday season.

THANK you!
