WELCOMING HEROES TO OUR THANKSGIVING TABLE Thanksgiving is always a cherished time in the Barnett household. We love being together as a family, cooking and enjoying comforting and delicious food, and creating new memories. A few years ago, our Turkey Day looked a bit different in the best way possible. Our home is nestled near Camp Pendleton, a prominent military base where brave men and women dedicate their lives to serving our nation. Their sacrifice often means spending holidays far away from their homes and families. So, on Thanksgiving, we had the privilege of hosting two Marines for a holiday meal. It was a heartwarming experience that transcended the confines of our dining room. These young Marines became a part of our extended family for the day. As we shared stories, laughter, and a bountiful and hearty feast, we were reminded of the profound gratitude we owe to those who protect our freedom and dedicate their lives to serving our country. Finn and Harlow (my kids) learned invaluable lessons that Thanksgiving in gratitude and patriotism. They saw firsthand the sacrifices made by servicemen and women, and this encounter ignited their curiosity about the military, prompting discussions about honor, duty, and the importance of showing appreciation to those who serve. Veterans Day, which falls close to Thanksgiving, adds another layer of significance to this time of year. It’s a day to honor all who serve or have served in times of peace and war. Hosting these two men was a fantastic way to spend this special holiday, and the experience will forever go down in the books as one of our best Thanksgivings.
