The Afghan soldiers that I have worked with are the most professional soldiers that I have ever seen in this country and they all truly care about making their coutnry a better and more secure place. They are among the true heroes of this conflict, and when we roll out together they don't have the body armor, the night vision, the high speed weapons or the up armored vehicles that we do. I will be forever thankful for the opportunity to come over here and meet these men and will remember many of them for the rest of my life! Sorry if it seemed like I was whining or making things out to be harder than they are over here. But hey, at least your wife was with you at work, so that had to be nice, right? Happy Turkey Day, man.

Every once in awhile I hear or read something that does a little bit to restore my faith in humanity. I desperately want to believe that people are basically good! Today, this was my something-to-smile-about. I love to see people point their finger at someone else to shift positive focus rather than negative.

I remember the holidays when I was downrange, it was not really about missing home, and wishing I was there, but more a Im happy to be here with my brothers sharing the experience and that we all made it this far and being hopeful that we make it to the end. We all did, thankfully. I respect all those downrange right now, especially having been there myself.

Had to work a double today but i get double time for the holiday so i dont mind. Paid for 25hrs, only worked 12.5, happy thanksgiving indeed! Im thankful i have a job, even if i do hate it. :)

I worked today also. 2-10 shift. I was sad I couldnt see my famiky, but I need the money.
