Thank you for standing watch on the frontiers of the world for us, CAPT Martin, while I enjoy my Thanksgiving dinner at home and enjoy the peace that you and your fellow Marines and Sailors provide to me and my family.
Happy Thanksgiving. And all that those words impart. Thank you for manning the ramparts, and may you be with your loved ones when properly relieved, IAW the Fifth General Order.
Would that this were a world where sailors and Marines did nothing else this holiday season but deliver comfort and goodwill. Sadly, this world is not that world, but a dangerous one where lagoons of peace and plenty can be washed away by storms of strife and panic.
