Thanks!   :hairy :hairy:shake

I have always maintained that one day is totally insufficient for the thanks we should be giving. We need to practice a lot more "thanksliving." Just a thought, but I know it holds plenty true for this pilgrim. :pray:

Good words, Ray  :shake

Back in 1974 I was given a small Bible (like all of us were when joining the Army) and to this day it's the one book I have never been without in my travels in life... I know I've never lived up to what it offers - but in it's own way it's given me comfort walking through life. It's setting in front of me right now.  :shake

There's a lot to be thankful for in this world of ours, and there's a lot to test us from day to day.

I do hope everyone has a nice Thanksgiving Day.  :shake

I have mine from 1962 in front of me:

Last name, initials of first & middle names
serial number, USN, blood type
Religious preference

And the notch so that it could be hammered between your teeth for identifying the remains if you were killed!
