Thanksgiving is a time to show your gratitude for your friends, family, and all that you have in life. This year will be quite different for most folks, no large gatherings of family and friends.

We should always acknowledge those that sacrifice so much for the rest of us, our servicemen and women and their families.

Their life was forever changed in 2010 when her husband, Charles Allen III, was severely injured after stepping on a 40lb IED while on dismounted patrol in Afghanistan.
