For just a moment let's turn our focus to those things in our lives and careers that we have to be thankful for. In spite of the many challenges we face there are likely many more blessings to count, so... what are yours? What are those things that you most thankful for? It could be your family, educational opportunities, or perhaps a great community, or even a really awesome coach or mentor figure. So, let's take just a moment to reflect on those things we're most thankful for, share our gratitude, and any associated stories. Please feel free to share any text, photos, links, or anything else needed to tell your story. So, fasten your seatbelts, pull up a keyboard and let's get this thing started; thank you for all that you do, and... see you all in the discussion threads!

My wife, my family and the fact that I survived a near fatal infection that kept me away from home for 4 months. You learn to be thankful for things that you take for granted.

I'm thankful for surviving the days that I thought I couldn't.
I'm thankful for surviving the nights that I shouldn't have.
Finally I'm thankful for my tribe. The biggest lie I was told as a child is "blood is thicker than water"! I disagree immensely. My tribe of water has done more for me than my tribe of blood. A lot of you here don't know it but you are part of my water tribe. Thank you

I am most thankful for my wife, Betty. She always has stood by me and helped with most anything that came up during my active duty time. She basically raised my twin boys, especially when I was deployed with the corps. She also knew how to fold and care for my different Navy and Marine uniforms. Without her support, my experience would have been less enjoyable.

Col (Join to see) Being thankful has been on my mind a lot lately and this is a sincere post about that. This is not about any political statement or about women's rights. It's about me and my story.
I am thankful to the woman that did not want my Dad but instead of choosing abortion chose adoption. I don't know who she is and I never will but because she chose life, I was blessed with some of the best grandparents a kid could ask for.
That day when she made her decision she not only saved my Dad's life but she saved mine and my three siblings. She saved my children's lives. She does not know me but I am grateful for every day that I look into my children's eyes because I know how close I could have been to never being born.
