On this thanksgiving day two thousand seven, when the first warm, inviting, delicious smell of the Thanksgiving Day turkey cooking in the oven strikes my positive smelling senses I think, oh! what a wonderful feeling and sensation.

Can life ever get better than this on thanksgiving day? To tell the truth, when I was a kid I never had the tact to have thanked mom for her masterful efforts in making a wonderful dinner on a wonderful day that could not of been better. Drum sticks, turkey breast, sweet potatoes, stuffing which were all done to delicious perfection.

Thank you mom, decades later for your love and attention to wonderful meals to make us all happier and to make memories that last forever. Also, thank you moms and dads who have given us your sons and daughters to keep us safe from fanatical enemies who hate our very existence. Without you and them we would not have a chance.

Thank you boys and girls who are sweating and freezing in battle fields around the world. Some of wars involving them I do not even know. Thank you for protecting me and making my life safer. Thank God for giving America wonderful soldiers like you who are smart and brave.

Thank you, the few courageous men and women in the news media who praise, rather than bad mouth, our troops we respect and love so much. May you all rest safely in God's loving hands.

Thank you unrecognized heroes, like mothers and fathers, who take care of your children so well when no one else does. Thank you for caring, nurturing and loving them as God would have you do.

Thank you single mothers and fathers on this thanksgiving day 2007 who do not shirk the blessed responsibility of taking care of your children when it would be so easy to dump them and leave them alone to fate. You must at times be among the loneliest heroes of all. You give so much love that you may never get back. God bless you a thousand times a thousand times.

Thank you Lord for my true friends for being my friends. I doubt if I could live another day, or any day, without you or them.

Thank you men and women, young and old, who never use drugs. Your wise choice will be rewarded with your fine example that is passed on to others. Many will not ruin their lives just because of your courageous, fine example. You are the best.

Thank God and my parents for letting me be born an American. Because of them I have an opportunity to be something in life to make them proud.

Thank you God for the red headed little girl you gave me so many years ago on Thanksgiving day who is now with you, in your loving hands. I have no fear of death as I know that some day I will be able to be with her again. Just as I never fear life I also have no fear of death. Each has their own rewards.
