A Thankful Thanksgiving The America we witness today has seen much sacrifice This sacrifice for many, has meant a total giving of life for liberty Do all truly realize what the human cost of freedom is All citizens should understand what has kept us whole Should it not be the duty of each American to know this To become familiar with the reasons of why we exist today The notion that "that’s the way things are" is ludicrous When a firm explanation is so easily understood We’ve survived because of faith, determination, and great sacrifice The backbone of this country is the strength of its good citizens Each true American is worth more than all the gold found in history Selfishness does not rule their home, nor does it drive their thought And don’t just look at our military as a magnificent force Rather look at each member of our soldiered family with pride "Ready, willing, and able" have been the finest of each generation Whether in Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, or any other place of danger Whenever an American military presence moves into action Behold the continuation of an outstanding tradition Formed through freedom, it bravely faces all adversaries And the flag under which it stands will always fly in freedom We are and always will be one nation under God He is the strength we have turned to time and time again If we did not have Him, we would have perished long ago God Bless America is more than a song, it is our national prayer Finally, I wish each fine American a thankful Thanksgiving Day May you truly realize what we are, and pray to Almighty God for continuation Be ever thankful for our Armed Forces, and give them the total support they need And please pray for all American families who have paid the price for freedom by Roger J.

Hi. I missed your link off of Ann's 30Days of Thanksgiving. Came by to catch up tonight. Great post on America! I love to hear you love working in the nursing home. I have a story about "Mamie" from a nursing home where I worked on my blog 10/20/09 under Titus 2 Tuesdays "Mamie". I should've gone to nursing school when it was a fresh idea. Hope to see you around. Jenn
