I spent time in the Military and being away from the family during the holidays is always a lonely time. Instead of a real turkey being carved you usually got a slice of white turkey meat. One thing I can say the military cooks were good. I had quite a few good meals in the military. Sure they were not gourmet but they were good.
I give thanks to all those men and women protecting us around the world far from there families and friends. To them I raise a drumstick salute. May you stay safe and return to your family. May you return soon so you can spend next Thanksgiving with your family.
As a Realtor you know we are an independent group. We don't like a nine to five cubicle. We don't like being told when to be there or what to do. But that is what the military is. The military owns you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. On base, off base no matter what. Whether you are sick or one of your family members is sick you do what they say.
I salute you and give thanks that there are men and women that dedicate their life to the military. They sacrifice family life many times to protect us. They miss important things like seeing their kids born protecting us.
Thanks from this Southeastern Michigan Realtor ( Livonia ) and from all of us at Active Rain. Thanks and enjoy your turkey dinner.

Hi Russ. Very well said and thanks for the reminder that there are men and women out there who aren't with their families so that we can all be safe. I wish them all the best and give them my sincerest thanks.
