each year, I look forward to spending Thanksgiving with Wyoming men and women in uniform who are serving overseas. I had the privilege of doing it again this year. This Thanksgiving, I was with Wyoming airmen at Ramstein Air Base, which is in Germany. These young men and women came from Casper, Cheyenne, and Riverton, serving our Nation. They are doing an outstanding job in their work and supporting missions in Europe, in Asia, and in the Middle East. They are a long way from home--eight time zones away from Wyoming--away from family, away from friends, away for the holidays. And I go every year, wherever I can find Wyoming troops, to thank them for their service, to thank them for their commitment, to thank them for what they do to keep us safe and to keep us free, and for the sacrifices that they are making. And I also want them to know that the people at home are thinking about them and know that they are a long way from home and caring for all of us. To me, they are heroes. They wear the uniform not for their safety but for ours.
