I liked Andrew's story, it gave me a new perspective for Thanksgiving. I have certainly never thought "Great, my father is alive and gets to leave the army in our home country and join us in another country!" This piece could have been a lot more emotional but I'm glad it wasn't. It's hard to listen to tough story after tough story.

So, this piece fits on every radio near a Thanksgivings table. When they do a show that includes "Alice's Restaurant" and an easy going perspective like this, I'll be listening. Toss in a David Sedaris commentary and highlights from a football telecast, too.
