While most of us have Thanksgiving off from work, there are still many who are working today, keeping us safe, cooking and serving us meals, working in smaller stores and providing us with items we may have forgotten to purchase, or gas to get us where we need to be. To those I say thank you!

Police, fire, dispatchers, first responders, hospital staff are all working regular shifts today, ready to respond at a moments notice.

Restaurants couldn't be open without employees who are cooking, serving meals, washing dishes.

Employees have the convenience stores open so we can get gas... All these people have whether voluntarily, or involuntarily given up part of their Thanksgiving and I say thanks! I am thankful for you, and count your efforts among the many things I'm thankful for this Thanksgiving.
