Our view: A day to count our blessings

Americans have so much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving Day.

Despite the chaotic nature of the world, we remain a free and relatively safe nation, in large part thanks to the active members of our military and our veterans.

Our country faces some significant financial issues, but most Americans are able to put food on their tables and sleep in warm beds in homes that protect us from the elements. And we have caring people who work for support networks that help those who aren’t as well off as most.
