Dear Young Airmen -
I miss you this Thanksgiving. I miss looking forward to seeing your shy, yet happy and expectant faces coming through my doorway. I'll miss the bags of chips, and bottles of soda you bring to us as your part. I'll miss seeing the anticipation on your face of the homemade meal you are about to eat, and not hearing the small conversations you can fit in between your mouthfuls. I miss knowing that I'm going to have a table bursting full of lonely young men who have come for some comfort and good food. I'll miss the contentment I feel from bringing a little bit of home to you this holiday season.

The airmen will miss out too. That's so nice of you guys to do that for them. We wanted to do that this Thanksgiving, but the base here doesn't do that, and I've asked several of the singles from on base if they'd like to come over, but they want to go to San Fran instead. lol
I hope your day is better. Praying for you.
That is so nice of you to do that. They will miss out on a wonderful meal, for sure.
I hope you all have a wonderful thanksgiving together!
Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving :)
I've invited Airmen over before but not having any this year....they really do appreciate not being alone during the holidays and having a wonderful home cooked meal :)
