People we are thankful for...
Perhaps this should have been posted on Veteran's Day, but it fits Thanksgiving very well...
Pearl Harbor survivor Houston James of Dallas is overcome with emotion as he embraces Marine Staff Sgt. Mark Graunke Jr. during the Dallas Veterans Day Commemoration at Dallas City Hall on Thursday. Graunke, who was a member of a Marine ordnance-disposal team, lost a hand, a leg and an eye while attempting to defuse a bomb in Iraq last July.

ARGHHHHH! I fixed the caption when the same photo when it appeared in my paper. What is it with caption writers? He lost a hand, leg and eye while attempting to defuse a bomb. If you defuse it, it generally doesn't blow up taking a hand, leg and eye.

I guess if you are a good caption-writer you get promoted to doing something else.
