Barry and I spent a quiet Thanksgiving by sharing a late lunch and an afternoon visit to the movies to see "Lincoln". We ended the day at some friends for dessert, wine and a bonfire. It was a beautiful and simple day, although we missed having at least one of the boys home. Due to their schedules, we weren't able to chat until Friday. I scheduled a group video call on Skype which was sort of successful. There was a 10 second delay so holding a multiple person conversation was a challenge but worth the effort to have the entire bunch on the call.
Keefe had to patrol on Thanksgiving Day, but his troops managed to find a lone turkey in the desert which became their dinner. I didn't ask for details. ;)
Liam prepared a simple dinner and shared it with a friend. Rory spent Thanksgiving with his adopted family "The Haney's" who live in Idaho and Oregon.
I am full of gratitude for the technology that allowed us to connect with our adult sons who are scattered to the four winds.
Recently a Marine Blog published this article about 2/7 Marines, Golf Company. The article describes what Golf Company has been up to in Afghanistan. Golf Company Article Quoting Lt. Murtaugh
Wishing you and yours a wonderful holiday season.
