Miselle, I second your post. I am grateful to Heather for offering us timely history and yes, to all of you who post here, your life happenings and stories, your passions, your suggestions, your courage. I wish all of you a very serene Thanksgiving and a moment to have gratitude on this day to pause and reflect. We keep our family and friends close, so our neighbors and their daughter will join us tomorrow, a small gathering.
Miselle... I picked a good day to scroll through all of the comments to Heather's letter. I'm glad I found yours. My 2024 has been filled with ups and downs, some personal, some "social study-like." I find myself balancing between the emotions of grief, angry, empathy, apathy. I circle back to a lesson I learned from my time in Iraq working with the Marine Corps: "Embrace the suck and move the heck forward because what over choice do we have." Happy Thanksgiving. v/r ... tjb
When I lost my older brother (also a Marine)to COVID a few years back and mentioned it here, that's when the responses made me realize I was among friends. Stay strong, and thank you for your service.

I'm sorry for the loss of your brother. I hope he doesn't mind that one of your new found friends is a Navy guy. v/r ... tom
