Happy Thanksgiving

[Hunter-Habib]

Wishing all our fellow forum members a very Happy Thanksgiving Day.

We unfortunately don't have turkeys in South Bengal (which is a real pity because I absolutely love to hunt & dine on them whenever I'm in the USA). So my family & I settle for the next best thing- Freshly roasted & stuffed Bar Headed Goose hunted by yours truly.


The entire family prepared different elements of the dinner. And it would have been completely perfect if my mother had baked a blueberry pie instead of a lemon meringue one. But ah, well. I can't complain.

Have a great one with the family & friends.

Warmest Regards,
Habib

In the early morning hours of Thanksgiving Day, 1943, then Adm. Bull Halsey ordered then-Capt. Arleigh Burke to counter a Japanese reinforcement to Bougainville.

The order from Halsey read: “THIRTY-ONE KNOT BURKE GET ATHWART THE BUKA-RABUAL EVACUATION LINE … IF ENEMY CONTACTED YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO.”

In the ensuing battle, Burke destroyed all but one of Japanese ships, thwarting Tokyo's reinforcement of Bougainville—with not a single US sailor's death. Halsey later called the battle "The Trafalgar of the Pacific."

Thanksgiving 1943: American Sailors Pull off a Miraculous Naval Victory

As we celebrate Thanksgiving with our families and loved ones, let us remember the American sailors who 73 years ago spent their Thanksgiving fighting a Japanese task force off Cape St. George in the Solomon Islands. In what could be considered a Thanksgiving miracle, not a single American life...

Is the USA and much of the western countries of the world we truly have much to be thankful for. We eat well every day
We have shelter be it a farm, house, apartment or bunkhouse/ dorm / barracks.
We have employment.
We are relatively safe in our daily lives.
And we have opportunities to improve what we have.

My lovely Zambian born leopard woman wife (Don't make mad!) has a coworker who recently married a woman from Zimbabwe. No, I couldn't make up a story like this... Anyway, we invited this family of Harley riding American he-man, Zim Shona wife, and her 10-year old daughter who arrived here only 2 weeks ago to what will be the females first American Thanksgiving dinner.

Tonight there will be turkey, ox tail, bison, shima/pap, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes , sweet potatoes, pies, and gosh knows what else that my darling Bemba princess (of the Chitimakulu (royal) clan) arose long before I awoke to go deer hunting to start preparing.

Today we share with family and friends.
Let us all remember to continue sharing with others, especially in our tips to our native (black) African trackers and camp staff. A few extra dollars to them after the hunt feeds their many children.
