Blessed American Thanksgiving!

Tomorrow marks American Thanksgiving, and as I figure I'll be pleasantly distracted by family and a tryptophan-induced stupor, now is an excellent time to mention it. Despite the fact that our Nation faces many significant challenges at home and abroad, we have much to be grateful for. Among these are the faith, family and friends we draw support from, our Nation's freedoms and the relative security many of us enjoy in our neighborhoods. It is also appropriate to recognize those among us who are less fortunate, which should inspire us to recommit to offering equal opportunity to all of our fellow citizens.

So enjoy time with family and friends, turkey and all the fixings, a football game and your inevitable nap on the couch. Blessed Thanksgiving!
