Thanksgiving
Today some people are
celebrating Thanksgiving some people are celebrating it tomorrow....
some people won't be celebrating it at all. It isn't that they don't
want to, it isn't that they don't have any family or loved ones to be
graced with his/her presents, it isn't because they aren't living and
breathing, it is because they can't. It is because they have chosen
to protect this free country that we love and that means sacrificing
things like birthdays, thanksgiving, Christmas, anniversaries and any
other special occasion that happens to fall when they are on duty.
It isn't just the fact that they are willing to give up their life
for our country's freedom, but also their LIVES which makes Canadian
Soldiers incredible people.
So after you thank God for
the meal in front of you, take a moment to bow your head and thank
the soldiers who are missing their family and friends this
Thanksgiving.
To my soldier: I love you
and miss you and although I would have a Happier Thanksgiving with
you at the table or the knowledge that you are at a table with loved
ones, I pray that you have a happy thanksgiving and sleep soundly
tonight knowing that the civilian population thanks you.
