The Spectacle Blog
As the ravening family horde descends (3 of 4 sons, 2 with ladies in tow) and before those of us who have galley duty all day chain ourselves to the stoves, ovens and barbecue grills, it’s time to say Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. While we enjoy our feasts, let’s take a moment to remember all of those guys and gals eating MRE’s today, not sitting in front of the tube watching football, and missing their families with every ounce of energy we are enjoying ours. To each of them, let us say thanks. But for them and those who have gone before, we’d have a lot less to be thankful for.
