Thanksgiving; The start of the holidays for many of us. My wishes to all
are for a safe and happy holiday season.

A Special Prayer for our troops:


Please O Lord, grant peace on earth, and speed our defenders home,
Bless their homes and their loved ones,
Diminish the grief of the mothers, fathers, wives, children and friends
of those who have fallen, and deliver them from their sorrow.
Bless those who keep the torch of freedom lit, and refresh
the tree of liberty with their life's blood.
May God watch over you, each and every one, keep you safe and
speed your return home.

Happy Holidays,

Capt. Frank Hopkins, USCG Auxiliary
