On this day we pause to give thanks for all of the blessings which God has given us. If you are a Rush 24/7 subscriber, you will find the real story of Thanksgiving here.

As the newest member of Townhall, let me introduce myself. I am a Christian man, married to my beautiful wife of seventeen years, with four children. Currently, I serve in the United States Air   Force as a Senior Master Sergeant. Having just completed my Baccalaureate Degree at Wayland Baptist University, I now finally have time to blog.

There is much that is happening as we fight the Global War on Terror. On the face of it, we may lose this war unless we understand the nature of the threat. Islamo-Fascist terrorism is the single most insidious threat to our liberty and culture that we have ever faced. Only recently has the President referred to the threat by name.

Most of my emphasis will be on the nature of the threat and the ways in which we can and must prevail in this war. Since I join the company of great thinkers, I am counting on you to keep me intellectually honest. Share your ideas and let's use this forum in a way that has in mind the goal of liberty for us and for our posterity.
