Thanksgiving, one each, other ranks, for the use of

The Battle of the Chosin Reservoir, or 长津湖战役 depending on your point of view, began 59 years ago today, give or take a day. Since the Brain's masthead art comes from the Toktong Pass phase of this battle I thought this video was appropriate.

Enjoy your Thanksgiving, enjoy your family, give thanks for a pulse if nothing else, and for a few seconds out of your day please give a thought that somewhere in this world, someone sent there in your name is not enjoying Thanksgiving nearly as much as you are. If I thought it would do any good, I would pray that this is the last time they have to be away from home, knowing goddamn good and well that will never happen.

Despite the awful misuse to which our young men and women are and have been subjected, and believe me they are aware of it, they are not deterred from standing tall on the wall between us and those who would hurt us. Give thanks for that.

Thanks to parkjh77, South Korea.
