A Very Happy Thanksgiving Indeed As US Army Staff Sergeant Reunites With Best Buddy After Years Apart

We at RedState hope you had a great Thanksgiving filled with joy and delicious food. In my home, we enjoyed turkey, pork, stuffing, cranberries, sweet potatoes, and some veggies (though I mostly focused on the main dishes). I did have some string beans, though, to keep it balanced.
