Happy Day of Thanks

I hope that your Thanksgiving is going to look like this.
And that your service member is home to join in on the celebrations.
If they aren't home, know that they are blessing lives everywhere and that I am grateful. Hope that you find a moment to feel grateful and moments filled with joy, even if your family isn't together. Happy Thanksgiving.

Fisher House

Have you heard of the Fisher House? I didn't know about the organization until recently. A Fisher House recently opened at Dover Air Force Base for families of fallen soldiers who come to Dover Air Force Base to witness their loved one's dignified transfer.

Learn more about the Fisher House at http://www.fisherhouse.org and read about the Dover house here. Their purpose is to provide a "home away from home" for military families to be close to a loved one during hospitalization for an illness, disease or injury.

You can make a donation to this organization through the Combined Federal Campaign, so check them out if you are a government employee or if you want to learn about a great organization helping America's Military families.
