Have a very Happy Thanksgiving and know that I am very thankful for each one of you giving of yourself to serve our wonderful country. God Bless you all for everything you do.
I won’t be near a computer at noon so I wanted to leave my message here.
TO THE TROOPS: No words can say how much we appreciate you. I thank you for your sacrifice for your country.
I am grateful for all the brave service men and women who sacrifice to keep our country free and safe. My thoughts and prayers are with you this holiday season, especially those of you who are deployed.
To all of our troops, I want to say thank you for everything you do, all of the sacrifices — from the big to the small stuff, it all matters. We have family in the military as well and just can’t say enough prayers for all of you. As we sit to Thanksgiving dinner, our thoughts and prayers will be you, as always. May God bless each and every one of you and keep you safe.
I just wanted to express my thanks for all of you for all that you do to keep me, my family, and my country safe and free. The sacrifices that you make each and everyday are tremdous and much of the time goes unnoticed. My wish is for each of you to have a wonderful holiday and return to your home as quickly as possible, safe and secure. We could not be the great nation that we are without you! Thank you and God bless each of you.
I am wife of PFC. R. Tapia and mother of SGT. S. Tapia of the United States National Guard. I have not been through a deployment yet but it is coming soon. My husband and son both will ship out on February 22, 2010. I want to THANK all our United States Armed Forces for what you do, and the families that are the back bone of the home. Words can not express what you give up for our FREEDOM, so my eternal Thanks and Gratitude to you and your family this Holiday Season and MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!
Thank you will never be enough to all the women and men out there serving or country. You are amazing and I pray everyday you are kept safe and strong and brought home to your families.
I would just like to Thank you all for what you have done & are doing! May God bless & keep you. I pray that you & your families have a Happy Thanksgiving & Merry Christmas! Happy holidays to all!
I am so thankful for all that you do on a daily basis for me and everyone in this country. Please know that you are always in my thoughts and prayers. Also, thanks go out to your families, the “silent rank” who have sacrificed so much also. God bless you!
Thank you for all that you do for our great nation, to keep us safe from those that wish us harm and to do it with such pride and unwavering strength. Thank you!
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! I could say it a million times and it still wouldn’t be enough. I hope you all know that you have overwhelming support back home for all you do to keep us safe and free. I appreciate all that you and your families have given up to serve our country. I wish you all Happy Holidays, and a safe and quick return home to your loved ones. God Bless!
God Bless each and every one of our service members, not just at Thanksgiving but each and every day of the year. You are fighting for our freedoms and you will not be forgotten. May the Lord keep you safe from both physical and mental harm and return home safely.
THANK YOU just does not seem to be enough. I am grateful to all our troops and their families who sacrifice so much to stand up for FREEDOM. I pray for your safety and unity. I am grateful that God can be everywhere at the same time. As my family sits and gives God thanks for His provision on Thanksgiving, we will also be asking God to abundantly provide the inward peace needed by those who are deployed and away from their families. Thank you for upholding our Nation’s safety and freedom in all that you do. THANK YOU!!!!!!!
My grandson is in the Coast Guard. Everyone in any arm of the Services have my heartfelt prayers. Thank you for your service and sacrafices. May God Be With You All.
Thank you so much for all you have done, doing and will continue to do for me, my family and fellow americans here back home. Words could never express the gratitude and among other feelings in my heart. All of you are thought of and prayed for everyday. May Gods speeding be with you always. I wish you Happy Holidays to you and your families. This time of years families should always be together for most of you it is not possible. I wished I could make that happen for you. I pray all of you will be home soon where you belong. Love in Christ & God Bless!!
To all of our service people, no matter where you are, a huge thank you for all the sacrifices and hardships that you indure while protecting our freedoms back home.
May God bless and watch over each and every one of you.
I think most of us take for granted what we have here in America. I know I do and I am ashamed of that. Thank you for everything you do for me, my family, my friends, and my country. You are away from your family and friends to protect not only your family, but your country, which includes me and my family. And for that I am forever grateful. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
In God’s love and mine,
~M
Thanks to all who are serving this great country! I pray for all of you every day. My son is a new US Marine currently at Camp Lejeune, NC and will probably deploy sometime next year. I support him AND all of you 100%. I hope that those who are currently deployed know that the folks back home ARE supporting you and are most thankful for the sacrifices that you and your brothers and sisters have made. Thank you is just not enough.
I spent a total of 5 Holiday seasons on foriegn soil while wearing the uniform of the USAF. You men and women are following in a long history of selfless dedication and service. To you, words that aren’t used much in converation mean a lot – service, honor, dedication, patriotism, perseverence, tradition, respect…and so many more. I remember as a young man, serving in other countries, how much those ‘care packages’ from home meant; especially at the holidays. We all shared what we got except maybe that one very personal item our families sent. Strong men would open their care packages and divvy out the contents and then walk away to a quiet place…we all knew to leave them their space for awhile. Soon they returned and all was back to the business at hand. Thanks to all you soldiers from one who remembers. Families – send those care packages, now!
Thank you to all who have made it possible for all of us to be able to worship in any way we wish. God bless you and your family for giving up so much to serve this country. Thank you so much for keeping us all safe. We support you, pray for you and your family. Happy Thanksgiving and a very Merry Christmas. I wish I had stronger words to show you the appreciation this country owes you but know that is in our hearts. Thank you and God Bless You and watch over you.
THIS IS TO THANK EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU FOR THE SERVICE YOU PROVIDE EACH OF US. BECAUSE OF YOU WE CAN ENJOY THE FREEDOMS THAT ARE SO SACRED TO OUR COUNTRY. I AM A BLUE STAR MOTHER OF SSGT COBBY MCDONALD…SERVED 2 TOURS IN IRAQ.
GOD BLESS YOU AND MAY THE GOOD LORD KEEP YOU SAFE,
HAPPY THANKSGIVING AND MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EACH OF YOU.

Heard about this listening to John Boy and Billy. To all of those deployed not just in the Middle East, but to every deployed allied person through out the world. We know you hear us say “Thank You” for your personal sacrifices, your dedication, and more; but it sincerely does not convey our Thanks to each and every one of you keeping our country[ies] safe from those that want to cause harm. My father; James [Jim] Wallace may no longer be military, but he is in Afghanistan assisting in mail services. Hold fast guys and gals, your Government is doing all it can right now to bring you home. We have never forgotten any person in service to our country, and we won’t start now. We all wish Happy Holidays to each and every one of you. We miss you, and dad, we really do miss you.
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
For you and your families courage, your bravery and your sacrafice, God Bless all our heroes.
As a retired Air Force enlisted member my praise and appreciation goes to ALL military members but especially to my fellow Air Force members. The job that you all are doing to keep us safe at home is beyond words of thanks. Please be safe and know we all have you in our prayers.
As a veteran I remember many holidays away from home.
To all my brothers out there heads up and fight the good fight!
Remember freedom doesn’t come free.
Thanks for all of the sacrifices!
I just wanted all of you to know that you are important to us and we do think about you often. Even though my brother is no longer actively serving in Afghanistan, I still think about and pray for all you that are serving all around the world. I hope you come home safely and have Happy Holidays! Thanks from Columbia S.C.
To all of our serving men and women,
I want you to know that I thank you so much for allowing my family and I to sleep soundly at night. You provide the safety that we share in this great country. As we come to Thanksgiving we should all be reminded of the sacrifices that you all make everyday. I thank you and so many others thank you too!!!! God Bless each and every one of you!!!!
Jackie Wilder and Family
Thank you for all that you do!! Your sacrifices allow my family and I to go about our everyday lives with the knowledge that someone “has our backs”. I know that in this time of turbulence, that it seems as if you have more people against you than with you. But you can know with certainty that THIS FAMILY and OUR FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS believe in the job you do. We thank not only you… but the families you have had to leave behind to serve this country. God Bless you and yours!!
Carolyn Warren and Family

But also I know and promise that you will not be forgotten this Thanksgiving day or any day that you spend away from your family. I am very proud to call you a American Soldier I salute you for a job well done. HOORA
THANK YOU all for your service to our great country! I joined a ride on Sunday to honor your brother Jeff Greene, who lost his life at Ft Hood. We are all standing behind each and every one of you and we are thankful to have you. HAPPY THANKSGIVING and we love you.
I am full of gratitude and appreciation for our military women and men who put it on the line for us everyday. I am in awe of military families who sacrifice the presence of their loved ones (sometimes for months) so that we can all enjoy the freedoms we are so blessed with! Thoughts and prayers for you families who will possibly spend the first holiday season without your loved ones. Prayers for God’s peace for all!
I am the proud wife of Sgt. Arnold Phipps, serving our country in Baghdad. He is the father of our 2 beautiful children who miss him very much, especially as we enter the holidays. I am grateful to him as well as the many others that we have come to call family, who answered the call to defend our country, in the hopes that our children will not bear the same burden. I am honored to serve quietly beside him, to support him in his mission, by keeping our family strong. Through God’s grace will this be done. Thank you to all who serve – may God bless this great country and its faithful people.
Thank you to all our military men and women for putting your lives on the line so that we may continue to enjoy our freedom as Americans. Being from a military family and having relatives currently serving in the military, makes me proud to be an american.
Keeping you all in my prayers and wishing you each a Happy Thanksgiving.
Dear soldiers every where,
our family prayers go out to you for your mission to
be a succsess and for your safe return. GOD BLESS YOU!

To all the soldiers and families who have given their time, talents or lives for our great country, we will always remember your sacrifice. I pray for you and your families and ask God to bless and protect those who have given so much of themselves. “Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends” John 15:13
To all US service men and women throughout the world, thank you so much for what you do. Your courage and sacrifices do not go unnoticed. Please be safe. We’re praying for all of you and for your families. Happy Thanksgiving.
Thank you all for all you do. My father served 22.5yrs in the Air Force so I know 1st hand what its like to be away from loved ones at this time of year. Thank you again and happy holidays and be safe.
I heard your request this morning on john boy and billy on the way home from work. It floored me to think that the troops wondered if we were still thinking of them. I would like to say that my wife and I are very appreciative of what the troops are doing all over the world, especially those in hostile territory. We are very thankful for the Freedoms and Privilegdes that we have daily due to ther sacrifices. We pray for all of their safe returns home and thank all of the families for their family members that paid the ultimate price that were unable to make it home safe and sound. Please remember the ones lost through the years and the ones active today that will not be able to make it home and enjoy Mom’s turkey and dressing while we are at home in our warm homes, bellies full, surrounded by family. Thanks again to the Men and Women that serve this wonderful country we call America. It is and always be the Home of the brave and the Land of the Free, our thoughts and prayers are with you always! emtpilk42@yahoo.com
