I\u2019m thankful for my family and health, of course. It\u2019s just nice to have a day where people take time off their lives to be appreciative of the things we take for granted.

We\u2019re just thankful for the warm welcome the people of this island have given to us. We\u2019ve actually only been here [Saipan] for about three months now and we feel very much welcome here.

I\u2019m thankful for the friends I have in my life. I\u2019m planning on spending time at a friend\u2019s house with them for a get-together with a bunch of other people and our choir members.\u201d

I\u2019m thankful for the little things in life that we tend to take for granted such as the clothes on our backs and the food in our stomachs. There\u2019s a certain population that don\u2019t live the way we do in excess. Also, the men out there in uniform fighting for our freedom, these are what I\u2019m thankful for.\u201d
