As I lay down at night I’m thankful for the day just passed and the day to come. Every day is a new day and may I never forget that I got a second chance. Thanksgiving is a day for all to remember what they have and have had and to realize how fortunate they are to have it. It is a time for all to come together and share their stories and laughter. To me it is one of the most important holidays. For me it is a time to eat till your stomach cries for no more, it is a time to reach out to others less fortunate, it is a time to shed all worries from your body, it is a time to clear the slate and finish the year with a smile.
At the end of the year comes joy, in more forms than one. The Road to Recovery Conference is something that brings hundreds of broken down, worn out, tired, and terrified hearts together to heal. It is something some wait all year for; just to feel a little peace of mind, a time for their families to let loose, and shake a little stress off. A time for injured soldiers to share with others that understand. An enjoyment for the kids, and a break for the wives.

I will always agree, for every tired and broken soldier that has had the privilege to experience the Road to Recovery Conference seems to come away with both a feeling of relief and knowledge/understanding of the benefits and programs that support us as veterans and disabled citizens
