Thoughts on Thanksgiving
Think about this for just a moment: If not shopping on Thanksgiving Day so that workers can enjoy Thanksgiving on Thanksgiving Day means so much to us, then we should also consider those that work on Thanksgiving Day that are not retail workers. Gas Stations are open so that you can get gas and drive to see your relatives. Airports, Train stations and Bus Depots are open so that you can go to see your relatives. Hotels are open so that you don't have to stay at your relative's houses. Paramedics, EMTS, and First Responders are working so that if you choke on your turkey, you won't die. Police are working so that they can keep you safe while you enjoy your Thanksgiving meal. Firefighters are working so that when your relative forgets about the potatoes and sets the kitchen on fire, you don't lose your whole house. All those people who keep the electricity grid up and running have to work so that you can cook, visit and watch the football game.
