I am grateful that my family and friends are all safe and sound and dry on this icy-wet Thanksgiving Day; that they all have loving companionship; that we have one another to lean on or to support, now and forever.

I am grateful for the Blessings of Liberty;

I am grateful to my parents, who secured those blessings for us at great personal sacrifice.

I am grateful to my children, who inspire me every day to struggle to secure the blessings of liberty for them.

I am grateful to my beloved country, which has room even for people like me: grateful but never satisfied—and vocal about it.

Because there are always more freedoms worth fighting for.
