GENTEXT/REMARKS/1.  THANKSGIVING MARKS THE TRADITIONAL START OF THE
WINTER HOLIDAY SEASON.  FOR THE MANY THOUSANDS OF MARINES AND
SAILORS SERVING IN HARM'S WAY, AMERICANS RECOGNIZE YOUR DAILY
SELFLESS SERVICE AND SACRIFICES TO ENSURE THAT THEY CAN LIVE IN
SECURITY AND FREEDOM.  PLEASE KNOW THAT YOU ARE IN OUR THOUGHTS AND
PRAYERS.
2.  FOR THOSE SERVING AT HOME, I ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE THIS
OPPORTUNITY TO BE WITH YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS.  PLEASE EXERCISE
CAUTION IN YOUR TRAVELS AS WINTER WEATHER AND HEAVY TRAFFIC MAY
COMPLICATE YOUR PLANS.  ENSURE THAT YOU REST AND ADEQUATELY PREPARE
FOR YOUR TRIP.
3.  PARTICULARLY AT THIS TIME OF YEAR, REMEMBER TO GIVE THANKS FOR
THE MANY BLESSINGS WE ENJOY.  OUR MARINES AND SAILORS ARE OUR MOST
PRECIOUS ASSETS. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELVES AND YOUR FELLOW WARRIORS.
