This week we celebrate Thanksgiving. It's an opportunity to reflect on the things we're grateful for -- our family, friends, and the opportunity to serve our great nation here in northern Japan. 

This holiday season, make sure you let your loved ones know how much they mean to you and how much you appreciate them. Our families sacrifice a great deal for us. 

While you're celebrating the Thanksgiving holiday and enjoying the long weekend remember to be safe. If you decide to drink, don't drive. That includes following the wingman concept and looking out for those around you. 

I want everyone to make it back to work healthy and well-rested. So take time this weekend to relax and reflect on all that we have to be thankful for. 

On behalf of the 35th Fighter Wing commander, I would like to wish all of you a very happy Thanksgiving.
