Thank A Soldier Week Reminder

I know your December calendar is rapidly filling, but be sure to save a little room for National Thank A Soldier Week, December 19-25.

You probably know at least one man or woman currently serving in the military and undoubtedly tell them "thanks" on a regular basis, but this week is set aside to make a special effort to expand those expressions of gratitude. The website linked above has several suggestions for doing this (including a form to send an email to a soldier serving overseas during the holidays).

Closer to home, this seems like a good time to remind you that you can also donate to the Black Knight Fund right here on the Gazette (refer to the button in the right sidebar), for the benefit of our own SSG Will and his CO. And on behalf of SSG Will, I'd like to extend thanks to those of you who have already made a donation; I know how hard it can be to find some spare money at this time of the year, even more so considering the other giving opportunities we as a nation have faced this year.
