Today is Thanksgiving here in the US, a day when we commemorate the hardships of early settlers of our great land. We also take time to reflect on pur own trials and triumphs. Aptly enough, Mayflower Research and Consulting has provided a prize pack consisting of their new Assault Pack and a UW Gen IV Chest Rig. Both are in MultiCam and made from LiteLok fabric.
Mayflower asked us to find this gear a deserving home and we can’t think of any better group to honor than our readership. To enter, tell us what you’re thankful for in the comments section below.
On Friday the 25th, we’ll randomly draw a winner from the comments for the prize pack.
We will contact the winner via the email address you provide when you post your comment, so it would behoove you to enter a valid address you can access.
One entry per person.
You have up to 7 days to claim your prize after we send the winner email. Unclaimed prizes become forfeit.
Void where prohibited.
Simply put, I am thankful for the liberties that I have this Thanksgiving; to spend with family and freinds- thanks those who have sacrificed so much, to my fellow Soliders, Happy Thanksgiving.

I am thankful for all my comrades out here in the desert…
I am thankful that I have gone through this deployment without one of my soldiers getting hurt. Afghanistan is a rough place but we are well trained and discipline, couldn’t think of a better group of guys I would rather be with so far from home on a holiday such as this.
I am also thankful that my family and friends are safe in the United States, makes deploying worthwhile knowing they can drive to the store and not get struck with an IED.
I’m thankful for my supportive wife, my family who are willing to help me out, and my fellow servicemen who answered the call.
I am thankful for being alive after taking an enemy AK round throu my head, then the big guy over head looking out for me the following 3 tours. I am thankful for my wife and kid who put up with me being in afghanistan for the holidays, but even when times are difficult between us, they still try and support me. and lastly i am thankful for my brothers in arms and the fact they are still kicking
thankful to be alive after 4 deployments
I am thankful because i come from a race of Soldiers and Christian martyrs who with their blood , made the tracks in which the train we call “Western civilisation” can move forward . In the past 3000 years , including the 20th century my nation (against germans in the 1 & 2 WW, against the communists etc) always was in the right side . Looking back i thank my ancestors and promise them to continue the path of honour and virtue .

I’m fortunate for being born healthy, for my loving family, friends, and being able to realize those are the important things in life. Sometimes I think I have it bad somedays and it takes days like today to realize someone out there always has it worse and to be thankful for what i have.
Thankful not to be in allah’s kitty litter box another year in a row eating turkey out of a can.
Hopeful that some of my good friends that just went back out will come home safe again.
I’m thankful that my service and the sacrifice of my brothers will give my family: Freedom of speech,
Freedom of worship,
Freedom from want,
And Freedom from fear;
And I think Mayflower gear will make that job just a little bit easier.

I am thankful I have found support in Jesus trough my very best friend, my very very dear dog. He was given to me just before my world collapsed and future looked grim. Without him I would not be here today. Without him I would begun clearing my mind and forget my suffering and disease. Without him I would not have begun talking to God and oath to serve and defend all good and combat evil in this world for as long as my heart beat and my mind is complete. I am grateful for man’s best friend.

Trully thankful for operating a platform that has put in put me in harms way a bought me out again. A platform that has brought our soldiers safely out of combat and back towards their families. A platform that when the guys in the team are most in need will get onto target in any conditions and get them them all the support they need.
I’m thankful for winning the celestial lottery and being born in the greatest nation ever to exist. Where its people are blessed with more freedom and prosperity than any human has ever had throughout history.
Today, while many of this nation’s fortunate sons and daughters relax safe at home, stuffing themselves happy and falling asleep to football, there is a significantly smaller number deployed to foreign lands who will spend the day outside the wire, patrolling dangerous ground seeking to engage our enemies. While we will be weighed down with turkey and pie, they will be weighed down with body armor and rifle. Today I’m most thankful for them, because without them we have and are nothing. God bless the Armed Forces of the United States of America and God Bless the families at home toasting their sons and daughters in harms way on this Thanksgiving day.
I am thankful for being home with my wife and daughters this Thanksgiving holiday, and i am also very thankful for having the honor to serve my country with so many dedicated infantrymen. I am also thankful for the holidays spent over seas with my brothers in arms even though we were not with our “familys” I couldnt have had a better time with any one else.
I’m thankful for being able to serve my country and continuing the outstanding tradition our armed forces has passed down.
I am thankfull for all of my Brothers and Sisters that share in being less than 1% that volunteer to keep this nation and my wonderfull family safe. Stay safe over there, Ill be joining you again soon.
