Thanks, Tara, for reminding us what we have to be thankful for. All those that went before us are truly remarkable. And all those who made the ultimate sacrifice have a place in our hearts and minds for the freedoms we enjoy today. I come from a family of many who have served in the Marine Corps. None of them died in service of our great country, but I am thankful for them and remember them every day for the courage it took to step out in service. Thank you again!
