Letters to the editor must be signed and include an address and phone number. Thank you notes and political endorsements are considered ads. Editorial A Great Land We live in a great town in a great land. There are many things for which we can be thankful, and one is that we live here. We are not one of the multitudes of homeless migrants fleeing the Middle East. We have a safe and secure home, with food on the table and friends in the neighborhood. We have the freedom to worship whatever religion we wish. These freedoms are envied by many and sought after by folks we see fleeing oppression on TV every day. We look at mothers and fa- thers seeking safety and security for their children. We see families torn apart by war and strife. We see children kept in ignorance with- out the stability of sc hool and the benefits of education. We see young men and women seeking a peaceful life away from oppres- sion. We see the distress on the face of elders who are uprooted from their longtime homes. We see the look of terror on the faces of mi- grants trying to flee religious tyranny. We see the look of relief in the eyes of folks who find sanctuary in friendly lands. We are lucky and we have a tendency to forget how fragile our freedoms are. Hopefully we do not think others do not deserve or would not appreciate the same freedom. At this time of Thanksgiving let’s be sure to do everything within our We a t h e r S t a t i s t i c s power to maintain the Spirit of Thanksgiving and nurture a spirit of the H i g h Te m p ( 1 1 / 1 8 - 1 1 / 2 3 / 1 5 ) + 3 0 F 11/ 2 3 / 1 5 religious freedom, tolerance and peacefulness that is sought by so Low Temp -1F 1 1 / 2 2 / 1 5 N a t i o n a l We a t h e r many of our brothers and sisters in this strife-torn world.
