Thanksgiving
My favorite holiday..some reasons why:
1> Lack of commercialism
2> A whole day centered around food
3> the concept of the family gathering
4> lack of religious implications
I wish we had 3 or 4 'thanksgivings' every year instead of one.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO EVERYONE

The all volunteer army has allowed an element of 'adventurism' in our foreign policy, for which we are suffering now in Iraq. Also, I cannot h...
