let us not forget

[guest311]

while we are stuffing ourselves, let us remember those far away, looking at rat-packs, or even if a christmas dinner, maybe only one can of cheer.

soldiers / sailors and airmen go where they are sent.

let us also not forget those who have an empty seat at their table this year, and for some, for all following years.

WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE 

and too often, your sacrifice.

[Ali Smith]

Well said, sir.
