This Thanksgiving, more than ever, Jeff and I are counting our blessings and realizing just how much we have to be thankful for. We have a beautiful little boy who is healthy and happy and we get to enjoy this holiday season together as a family.
However, for our extended family here in Corpus Christi, this Thanksgiving will be a little bittersweet as we remember that this will be a very difficult time for the families of our friends Bret Miller and Joe Houston. For those of you who were not aware, Bret and Joe were two instructor pilots in our squadron who lost their lives on October 28 in a tragic plane crash. The T-34 went down during a routine training mission, leaving our military family in a state of shock and disbelief. Bret's wife is expecting their second child this March, and Joe had a son and was engaged to be married. We can't imagine what a difficult time this must be for them. A memorial fund has been set up for their children, and we would like to ask that you consider making a contribution by going to the website www.remembertherangers.com.
Most importantly, please keep their families in your prayers this holiday season and please pray for the safety of Jeff, his squadron-mates, and our military as they continue to serve our country.
We hope your family has a Happy Thanksgiving!
