As we gather with our families to celebrate Thanksgiving at home today, our heroes are deployed around the world, keeping us and our allies safe and free. Enduring harsh weather conditions and facing the uncertainty of what lies ahead, many of them will struggle with loneliness throughout the holiday season. And, in this season when we ask so much of our service members, your support right now is especially meaningful. Each Thanksgiving, I am deeply grateful for military supporters like you who play a crucial role in our mission to support these dedicated individuals — especially because I know we can always count on you when and where it matters most. This year, your support was crucial to service members deployed to combat the wildfires in Hawaii, the largest natural disaster the state has ever faced. And your support continues to be essential for our troops serving in highly stressful and uncertain circumstances in Eastern Europe. As a small token of my gratitude for all you do for our service members, I’d like to share a few photos from this year that illustrate how invaluable your support is to our troops.
