Happy Thanksgiving everyone here at Sino-Defence!

Despite whatever difficulties, hardships, and temporary setbacks we may experience individually, or societally. Most of us have SO MUCH to be thankful for. Thanksful to friends and family, thankful to others such as neighbors and co-workers, and of course, in our tradtion here in America (and most of the world) thankful to God in Heaven for!

I pray we will always remember to thank Him, put our trust in Him, and seek to truly understand and then do everything we can in our own lives and to seek and abide His will. And if someone is not a believer per sey, then to put their faith and trust in fundamental moral principle, in doing good to others and treating them as they would like to be treated and respecting each others rights. We are all, when you boil it down, richly blessed and I personally and publically thank God for it, and for my nation, the United States of America, but also for the tens and tens of millions of very good, honest, moral, sincere and God-fearing people who bless all of our lives!

...all over this world!

I mean, for example, look at us here in this day and time, able to come together and discuss matters that intetrest us here on this forum from literally all over the world, and in real time! Something for most of my life that would have been unheard of...unimaginable, and simply impossible. Yet here we are, enjoying in this discourse with one another and able to establish friendly relations and have sensible and reasoned discourse. That in itself is a great blessing!

Yep, happy thanksgiving everyone. Sitting at home right now watching some football.

Too many things to be thankful for, so I will just shorten it to being thankful for God finding me, for my wife, for my friends and family. Thankful I get to talk about Chinese military with y'all.

You covered some very important things there Equation!

As to the Texans, well, my Cowboys lost...again...and I am, as a Native Born Texan, always pulling for the Texas team and my hat's off to the Texans. It's time we had another super bowl ring in the State of Texas. Even though I am happily and thankfully living in Idaho as a say this! LOL!

Last night, at 8 PM, Walmart had a special on 42" flat screen TVs here in the Boise area...or maybe 40" flat screens for $198.

We have an old 37" TV that was great eight years ago, but is having problems now and about to go out on us, We are ready to get a new one. So, one of my daughters and her husband went last night and asked us if we wanted them to pick one up for us, so we said yes. The 42 or 40" had a line almost 100 people long for only 75 TVs, so my daughter and her husband (who wanted to get one too) ended up going over to the 37" special and got themselves and us one of those for like $130 dollars and we will replace ours with that one.

I'm taking two of my granddaughters who are her kids to the movie on Saturday and will give her a check for it then and we'll set it up tomorrow night. Doing a double header on Saturday. After the kids movie ("Wreck it Ralph") the gandkids are going home with Mom and my two sons (28 and 24 years old) and my two son in laws (35 and 34 years old) are all going to see the new "Red Dawn" movie. Hoorah!
