I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving yesterday. I am proud to say that my first Thanksgiving dinner turned out just as well as I had hoped it would!

While we all enjoyed great food and a great time with our families, our American troops were not so lucky. They were away from their families and in less than ideal conditions. How can we help make then feel a little closer to home during the holidays?

The Flugpo Blog had a nice post about how to Support Our Troops:

"Even if you don’t support the war, it is important to support those men and women who feel they are fighting to protect freedom and liberty for humanity.
The easiest way to do that this holiday season is to send them a Christmas card. You can pick different cards that have different sayings. You can even make your own greeting. You can’t pick a certain soldier to send one to, but you know whichever soldier gets your card, he/she will share it with their whole camp. So, please, sign up to mail Christmas cards so our troops. They need all the support and love we can send them this holiday season."
