Thank you, Fred for all that you do for us, and for this Nation that you love. Also, for taking the time out of your holiday, AT HOME, to write and share your thoughts with us. I hope that you are having a wonderful Thanksgiving and that you will catch up with your older children soon.

Fred, thank you, so much, for your sacrifices, it sounds like there were many. Thank you for your service, and for your continued service to the men and women who have served with you. I sincerely mean that, from the bottom of my heart. I have had every generation on both sides of my family serve, during war time and peace, so I know what sacrifice and service means.
