I truely feel that the Thanksgiving holiday should be more recognized than what it is.
Our men and women that are serving and protecting us all should be honored for what they do,no matter what their postion is in the service. I can't tell you how upsetting it is to see Halloween celebrated,and then immediately it goes to Commerlized Christmas.
What ever happened to the true meaning of Thanksgiving? To me the true meaning of Thanksgiving is giving recognition to our Service Men and Women,and let them all know we Celebrate them on such a meaningful holiday.
It should Never be over looked,by nothing then a commercialized Christmas,I very rarely see anything pertaining to Thanksgiving,and Our Solidiers,except maybe a commercial on tv,with a turkey and all the things that make up the dinner.
How can we as Americans do that? What ever happened to saying Thank you to our service men and women,on TV? Showing it,and meaning it.
I think it's high time to give Prayers and Graditude to  all our men and women,afterall if it weren't for THEM where would we be.
I want to take this time to personally say Thank you to each and everyone of you for putting your life on the line for me and my family,and for allowing us to have our Freedom.
So as I end this,I would like to say to the TV Industry,Put on more Thanksgiving commercials for our men and women to see,so THEY know,we care,I feel it's the least we can do,considering what They do for us each and everyday for us!!
