Friend, 

With Thanksgiving tomorrow, I wanted to extend a Happy Thanksgiving from the Schimpf family to yours. 

In 2005, I ate Thanksgiving Dinner at a Forward Operating Base in the Sunni Triangle in Iraq while waiting to transport Saddam Trial witnesses back to the Green Zone in Baghdad. That memory reminds me of two things this Thanksgiving.

First, no matter what challenges our country faces, we are incredibly blessed when compared to other nations. We truly do have an enormous amount to be thankful for as citizens of the world’s true beacon of freedom. Second, our holiday can only occur because of the service members and first responders who are standing watch while we celebrate. Please keep all of them in your prayers. 

Lori, the boys, and I all wish you a happy, blessed, and peaceful Thanksgiving.

S/F,

Paul Schimpf
