Happy Thanksgiving!
« on: November 26, 2003, 07:41:47 PM »
Happy Thanksgiving to all the Alaskans out there. 10 degrees over here and 75 mph winds in the pass.  Gusts to 50 mph here in town.  Today is a typical "trash can exchange day" over here.  A small kid blew by awhile ago but must have been a tourist as I did not recognize him.  Hope he lands before he hits the harbor. :)

HAPPY THANKSGIVING to all of you as well.

A bittersweet holiday this year.  One of my airmen was shot and killed two days ago in Anchorage and 37 of my troops return from the Middle-East today.  Pickin' up warriors at the airport this afternoon and conducting a memorial service this Saturday.

As you're being thankful today, take a moment to remember the oh-so-young folks who are sacrificing so much for us today.

Sorry to hear that Matt. I heard of the shootings but the one TV station that I get has not come in for several days.  

It is not going to be an easy day for you and my sympathies go to you, your men and to his family.  

That is why I live where I do, I avoid big cities like the plague. The times they are a changing as the song goes and what was once considered the easy life over here in the US is getting a little harder.  I appreciate what the military does and am one that knows freedom isn't free.  Someone has to pay!

Hopefully the day will go easy with the support of the Tundra Walrus.
