Our mission has come to an end and we’ve passed the torch to our replacements. The vast majority of my unit has arrived home safely but a handful of us remain here waiting for a flight home and as much as I was hoping to report we’d spend Thanksgiving home with our loved ones, I cannot. Though I’m hopeful there will be some leftover turkey when I get there.
I do have much to be thankful for, however. I am most especially thankful for…
o The opportunity to share this most special meal with a bunch of heroes again this year.
o The support I’ve received from all of you throughout these past 15 months.
o My continued membership in the community we call America.
And most of all I’m thankful for the love and support of the Lovely and Talented and Downright Sexy Mrs. Hook and our merry band of pirates. They’ve sacrificed a lot these past 15-months with nary a complaint. Our Thanksgiving Meal together (though delayed) will be the best feast of all even if it is leftover turkey sandwiches. Sgt Hook out.
