Thank you to our troops

This morning it is on my heart as I am on my elliptical how thankful I am for our service men and women who are allowing me the peace to get on my elliptical machine this morning before starting a busy day. How we take this for granted! We are so able to go about our days without fear and anxiety for our safety from foreign threats. And tomorrow as I enjoy Thanksgiving Dinner on The Plains with my family safely with no worries of terrorism at our tailgate. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you! I realize that you are not with your families this holiday so that I can be with mine. My son and I pray for you all every night.

Happy Thanksgiving and War Eagle,

Annie
