We return the next day to serve and fellowship with the folks that come in for hot Thanksgiving meal. Many of the homeless folks are veteran's which of course is near to my heart. We then gather as a family to participate in our immediate families Thanksgiving celebration. A few years ago year we purchased a white linen tablecloth and had the family write something they were thankful for on the tablecloth. We then have it dry-cleaned and use it the next year and again allow folks to share if they like. The rest of the evening consists of board games, snacks and discussing how we can serve our community for Christmas. Doing these things as a family not only helps others but it models the values and sense of charity and values we want our young family members to model when they become adults.Response by PO3 Steve Reeves made Nov 23 at 2022 7:47 PM2022-11-23T19:47:30-05:002022-11-23T19:47:30-05:00SFC Ross Griego7996035<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Alone time.

Every few months, we would go to visit my wife's parents who lived 100 miles away. Whenever we visited (winter, spring, summer, or fall) my mother in law served turkey for dinner. Why? Because it was cheap! She had grown up during the depression and I fully understood why she was a penny pincher (although she and my father in law had lots of money). Years passed and we grew more financially solvent and even though we still occasionally enjoy turkey, our traditional Thanksgiving meal became (an still is) a standing rib beef roast, with Irish potatoes, broccoli, a congealed salad, fresh baked rolls, and pumpkin cheese cake. We're thankful that Granny taught us to be frugal and we have been, but Thanksgiving, sorry we're thankful that we can enjoy our own tradition.Response by LTC Sidney Barnes made Nov 23 at 2022 11:57 PM2022-11-23T23:57:32-05:002022-11-23T23:57:32-05:00Capt Carlton Shier7996311<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Favorite Thanksgiving tradition - playing football with my brother in a yard covered with leaves about 18 inches deep.Response by Capt Carlton Shier made Nov 24 at 2022 12:02 AM2022-11-24T00:02:26-05:002022-11-24T00:02:26-05:00SSG Private RallyPoint Member7996325<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>My FAVORITE Thanksgiving has ALWAYS been to travel to see my family for the holidays. From being in the service, I don't get a chance to continue to be with them, and to see them, as much as I have when I was younger. Keeping up with all in the family and all new events with my family, like I used to, become much more difficult to do, and these things don't begin to resonate and hit your heart strings and your memory, until you start getting older and becoming an adult yourself. For example, like, to keep up with who in the family that's graduated, or who got their first job, who got their first boyfriend/girlfriend, who is starting their first year of college, who is now having their first baby, etc. When you are young, going to family's house, riding in the backseat, your just a kid, living and loving life! As you get older and become the adults that we end up being, it can be something as 'simple' as me remembering getting in that backseat, to be on my way to Uncle Willie's house, just so I can be with my extended "family!" And for me, if I did not have those cherishing times and those fond memories to last me throughout my career thus far, I really don't know if I would be here today, having gone through some of the things that I have in the service, yet, I am so blessed to still be of sound, mind and body. And I am SO glad, happy and fortunate to be able to be here today, to simply reminisce on those memories past, with my absolutely beautiful family!<br />Thank you for letting me share this with you all.

We had one of those 70’s hanging lights with a chain intertwined around the cord that went to the outlet and in one of the links of the chain was a wishbone, the wishbone from the previous year’s Thanksgiving dinner. After we gave thanks, enjoyed a delicious meal and cleared our plates… we’d sit in anticipation of who’s turn it was to make a wish and what the wish would be…dad would take the wishbone down and two of us would get our turn to make a wish, mom would go in the kitchen and come back with a fresh wishbone from the turkey we just ate and hang it in a link on the chain for next year. We’d all sit at the table talking and laughing trying to figure out the wish. I’ve carried on that tradition first with my children and now my grandchildren. It warms my heart to see the excitement and togetherness it brings my family over something so little and simple as a wishbone…This year we had thanksgiving a few days early it was my youngest grandson’s turn and he had me do it with him…for the very first time in the 50plus years I’ve done this the wishbone split perfectly in half leaving us both with an exact equal part of the wishbone…quite a conversation and laughter for hours over that one! we are truly blessed! And we wish each of you to be blessed with family, love health and happiness this holiday season and always!
