Many thanks to those that sacrificed their lives for our country!

Twas the night of Thanksgiving,
But I just couldn't sleep.
I tried counting backwards,
I tried counting sheep.
The leftovers beckoned
The dark meat and white,
But I fought the temptation
With all of my might.

Tossing and turning
With anticipation,
The thought of a snack
Became infatuation.
So I raced to the kitchen,
Flung open the door,
And gazed in the fridge
Full of goodies galore.

I gobbled up turkey
And buttered potatoes,
Pickles and carrots,
Beans and tomatoes.
I felt myself swelling
So plump and so round,
Till all of a sudden,
I rose off the ground!

I crashed through the ceiling,
Floating into the sky
With a mouthful of pudding
And a handful of pie.
But I managed to yell
As I soared past the trees...

"HAPPY EATING TO ALL! PASS THE CRANBERRIES PLEASE!"

We would like to not only send our best wishes to everyone on this Independence day.....but more importantly, We would like to thank all of the Souls, past and present, who have made the choice to protect us, our families and our country.

It is those Souls and the friends and family that they serve with that continue to make this day very special.

Thank you for your time, your effort and your sacrifices.

And to the service men and woman who are still protecting us and our freedoms and are not able to spend time with their families this Independence day, may whatever God you worship look over you and yours.

God's speed and our prayers are with you.
