Thanksgiving Appreciation Published Nov. 23, 2009 By Col. William Thornton 412th Test Wing commander EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. -- With the Holiday Season upon us, we find ourselves reflecting on the past year and all the that has happened. This Thanksgiving, I want you all to know how much I appreciate the hard work you do for the Air Force. Also, please keep those deployed and their families in your thoughts. Please be careful as you travel. Rest and celebrate over Thanksgiving. Don't push yourselves too hard to reach your destinations or return home. Your safety and your loved ones' safety is of the utmost importance. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
