On this Thanksgiving Day we volunteers at 912 Super Seniors give thanks to God...
For our families surrounding us and those forever in our hearts.
For America, our heritage, our homeland.
For our military who, like my own father in World War II,
signed a check to our country
payable even to the extent of their own lives
to defend our constitution and protect our freedoms.
For Glenn Beck who gave us facts we don't always want to hear,
advised us to do our own research,
volunteered to be thrown under the bus so we could debate the issues
instead of defending him.
For Americans who walked out of familiar territory,
said goodbye to their comfort zone
founded tea party and 912 groups
and awakened millions of Americans.
For Margaret who grew up under Stalin and Hitler
who stands with her sign on a street corner each Saturday
often alone
because she sees America going in a wrong direction.
To South Florida 912
who encouraged the first 912 Super Seniors group
and continues to provide support and friendship.
For the Super Seniors who took the food inflation surveys
completed them and,
in spite of website issues and survey design vagaries,
got the first week's data to us.
For the Super Seniors
who are eager to join groups
and those who are willing to assume leaders' roles.
For the 36 million Seniors 65 and over
And the 77 million Baby Boomers following them
Whose voices will be heard
In resounding support
For our American heritage and our precious freedoms.
