| When
we count our many blessings; It isn't hard to see that life's most valued treasures are the treasures that are free. For it isn't what we own or buy that signifies our wealth. It's the special gifts that have no price: our family, friends and health. |
To Our Valued Guests,
Thanksgiving is a time to reflect and be thankful for what we have--not for what we cherish, desire or envy. Rich or poor, every American has many things to be thankful for, not the least of which is that we live in a country where our freedom and individual dedication and hard work define the limits of our success, whatever your aspirations, dreams and goals may be.
Whether you have
planned a grand feast surrounded by friends and family, an intimate candlelight
dinner for two, or a simple frozen dinner or takeout, it is not really the
edible food, but rather who we share them with that counts most of all, and to
us, this is the true value and meaning of Thanksgiving.
With our men and women in the military in harms way defending freedom, we should be thankful that many of our young people have answered the call of patriotism and love of country to serve in our armed forces and defend our way of life. Without their numerous personal sacrifices and the sacrifices of generations of veterans who have gone before them, there would be little in America to be thankful for. Say a prayer this Thanksgiving for our brave warriors who are separated from their loved ones by thousands of miles.
As we pause to give thanks for our many blessings, I want to thank you personally on behalf of Cruise Direct Online and Travel Direct Corporation for entrusting us with your business. A company doesn't get to its 7th Anniversary without loyal customers like you who recognize the value of personal service and customer care.
Raye & I and our staff, appreciate your business, and we promise to continuously strive to be worthy of not only your business, but your friendship as well.
