Blog #10 Giving thanks during our Thanksgiving Holiday. How thankful are you?

Good morning cadets. Your task this week is to post reasons why you are thankful during this time of year in advance of the Thanksgiving Holiday.  As usual, post a story or video that supports your point of view and lastly remember to post feedback on at least one of your peer's work.  I will start this off with my reasons for being thankful.

I am thankful for living in a country that guarantees I have Freedom of Speech. I am also thankful for my health, family, abilty to work, grand-kids, and mostly my loving wife whom has supported me through thick and thin.

    I am thankful for my family and friends and especially for my dogs. My dogs usually comfort me when I am having a bad day. I am also thankful that my family and I are in good health

    Here is a video that I thought represented the true meaning of Thanksgiving-

    Me ,myself and I can`t simply not write down all the possible forms of gratitude I have towards everything that sustains me here today. Most people would say they are thankful towards their family and friends. However I am simply thankful for humanity (anything that relates to the homo sapiens). EXCEPT ISIS they can eat cacti for Thanksgiving. I bet anyone below me would copy my idea now hehehe. Otherwise I am simply thankful for my dogs and the JROTC program for giving me a positive High School experience. Most freshmen at this time would probably still be struggling with getting friends, JROTC has not given me any, but a new group of people that i can call my second family. Thank you. Sorry for being a tortilla(corny).

    I am thankful for having chance to come to this country and chance to learn different cultures. I am thankful for my family and their caring. I also thank for the good health of my family also. And those friends who still remember me since I was in the America.

    I am grateful that most of my family is healthy, considering cancer is genetic in our bloodline. I am grateful for a great family, food, a place to live, friends, and the veterans that make sacrifices (even if its hard for them) just to defend our country every day.

    I am thankful to have a family I can everything with. I'm thankful for health. I'm thankful for the food I have in my plate every day. I'm thankful for education because I know not everyone has the privilege to have an education. I'm thankful for the freedom this country gives. I'm thankful for life. The most I'm thankful for , is for having an amazing mother. She's my everything.

    I am thankful for all of my family, friends, and people who support me to be able to do whatever I want, but I am not thankful for the actual story of what went down on thanksgiving, rather what we learned as children.
