Thankful for this day, yes!

I'm most thankful for having been born at a time and in a place where along with many others I was able to enjoy the many opportunities and benefits springing from the greatest generation and civilization the World had ever known, and all that purchased with the sacrifices of those who have gone before me.

However, with my gratefulness for life, family and opportuniuty it is all tempered with knowing that I and others must equaly strive to provide our children with similar potentials.

May God help us achieve those goals.
