I'm thankful for my kids; they're all healthy, smart and amuse the hell out of me. Absolutely the 3 best "things" to ever happen to me.

I'm thankful to have a stable career that keeps putting money in my bank account.

I'm thankful for my wife; an amazing lady, and one who is supportive of my vehicle addiction (just added an '84 Corvette C4 to my stable yesterday).

Oddly enough, I'm thankful for my ex-wife. She's the woman who gave me the 3 kids that I'm so in love with. And though we're divorced, we have a good relationship so we're both still a "team" with our kids. That means a lot to me.

I'm thankful to all the men and women I've served alongside over the years, and I'm thankful for the young men and women who continue to defend this great nation of ours. A special thank you goes out to the ones who can't be home with their families right now.
