A Thanksgiving Message From the Front

From 'One Marine's View':

BE THE

ONE
What are

you

thankful

for? This

time of

year things

get crazy in the states. Family members come to visit, gifts are

bought, stress, excitement and fun wrapped up in one. But I ask,

what are you thankful for? Before the Thanksgiving holiday gets here,

stop for 2 minutes and try to write down what you’re really thankful

for.

Have you thought about your health, to the point if you’re going to

see your kids graduate high school? How about the shape of your

relationship? How about simple things we overlook everyday like

clean water the lack of death squads taking over our houses and

families and two of great importance, freedom and the greatest

country in the world. They can never take our freedom!

---------------------------------

This holiday season add your service members to your “Thankful”

list. During this holiday season, we will be forwardly deployed to

maintain the fight. We will not stop operations and we will keep the

enemy on the run. "We will not waver. We will not tire. We will not

faulter. We will not fail. Peace and freedom will prevail."

Happy Thanksgiving!

Semper Fidelis,
Keep Attacking!
