Happy Thanksgiving

I was sitting in my room this morning, just after waking up, and I think, "I'm glad I don't have to work today." I didn't even realize that it was Thanksgiving, even though I thought about how much I wish I could be at home for it the night before. It took about an hour to realize what day it was. The days just blend together here, and I'm not complaining because it makes the time go by.



So... this is what I am thankful for:

First and foremost, my family - You have always supported me, even when times were rough. I think about you all of the time. You have taught me to be who I am.

My country - there really isn't anything else to say about it.

I'm thankful to my Platoon for always watching each other's six.

Eddie and the whole 7th grade class at Parkway West Middle for all of your support.

My friends - To the ones that have always been there, I couldn't ask for more. Jenn and your family - for being unbelievably supportive in all the years that I have known you. It is far more than anyone could ask for.

I hope that everybody is having a wonderful Thanksgiving. I wish I could be home. There isn't really all that much time left, and the time is flying by quickly.

Miss you all and hope everything is well.

Phil
