Thanksgiving ......Marine Corps Style

It started off just like any other day...the squad walked the 1 mile to the lot so we could continue working we did that all morning but then we knocked off early so that we could go stand in line at the chow hall that was 300 yards long. After chow we got to stand around for 2 hours waiting on General Conway and Sergeant Major Kent, the Commandant and SgtMaj of the Marine Corps. They came and told us that we are all doing a really good job and that this Thanksgiving will be one of the most memorable ones because I spent it in Afghanistan. Doubt it. But that is not to say that I am not thankful. I am extremely grateful for my parents and my sisters who have put up with my running of for the third time. I am also really thankful for everyone else back in the States that is suporting me with prayer and packages. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
