This Thanksgiving, many military stationed overseas will be without family, and too many hurricane victims are still in tents or other makeshift shelters. Remember them this Thanksgiving, and, if you can, donate to an organization bringing necessities and holiday cheer to those who need it most.
There is no American holiday so centered around familial gatherings as Thanksgiving, and thus the homeless, people with estranged families or no families, and people far from home might feel the absence of friends most at this time of year. This year might be hard at Thanksgiving even for those with family, as Bidenomics has made food so much more expensive. Say a prayer for those who can’t have a bounteous Thanksgiving this year, especially troops whose sacrifice makes the freedoms we celebrate possible, and the hurricane victims who lost everything and have no homes to gather in.

I reported recently on how some families in Northern Carolina were sleeping in tents or trailers, even amidst a snowstorm. Federal aid has been lacking for them, even while taxpayer funding keeps illegal aliens warm and cozy in hotel rooms across the country. In fact, not only have federal and state authorities been extremely slow in helping Americans affected by the hurricanes across multiple states, but authorities reportedly kicked families in North Carolina out of cabins that Amish volunteers had built. According to the bureaucratic blackguards, sleeping in snowy tents is infinitely preferable to living in cabins that they arbitrarily deem not up to code.

One group that has been coordinating relief for Hurricane Helene victims is Women Fighting for America (WFFA), which accepts donations through GiveSendGo. This Thanksgiving, if you can, share your blessings by helping out Americans abandoned by the government officials who sent millions to Islamic jihadis overseas.
There are tens of thousands of U.S. troops deployed overseas at any given time, from Europe to Africa to the Middle East. Many of them could not bring their families with them. These brave troops and their families are sacrificing to preserve American freedom. As someone from a military family, I can attest that holidays without a parent or spouse or sibling can be hard. Our men and women in uniform make Thanksgiving possible for everyone else.
I’d like to share Bing Crosby’s unsurpassed version of “White Christmas.” Troops overseas during WWII always wanted to hear Bing sing it to them when he was on his tours for troops, and the star never forgot how deeply moved the men were by the song. Now as then, it expresses the nostalgia and longing of anyone who has to spend the holidays far from home. So listen to America’s favorite holiday song, sung by the “Voice of America”:God Bless our Men and Women deployed for Thanksgiving 🙏 I truly appreciate your service and sacrifice 🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/K5nhZrAsEa
