Opinion
Dear friends,
I would like to wish all my friends and even those who disagree with me a very Happy Thanksgiving. As a political pundit and a conservative, sometimes my rhetoric creates controversy.
Regardless, I am still thankful to be an American. I am thankful as I age that my brain still works. I am thankful for my son and 3 wonderful grandchildren and a sweet, great granddaughter. I am thankful for a good pension that I worked 33 years is keeping me going in these hard times. I am thankful for so many wonderful things that I enjoyed in my life so far.
That said, I wish all of you many blessings on Thanksgiving Day and in the future!
GOD bless America!
Sincerely yours,
JUDSON Bennett- Coastal Network
