Protection, Kansas was a small mid-west town surrounded by fields of wheat and corn. The town consisted of 526 residents and the median income was around 35K. The residents were cheerful and polite and went about their daily lives. The town didn't see many visitors, but today two white vans rolled into town.

The vans pulled into the parking lot and two men got out of one van and climbed into the other one. The other white van pulled away and headed out of town. No one in the town noticed what had happened.

Three hours later a beeping came from the parked van. A moment later the device inside the van activated and a green wave of energy spread outward from the van and engulfed the whole town.

"As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them." JFK

In America today is a day for being thankful for the things in people's lives. Today was a day to celebrate family, friends, prosperity and health with food, family and friends. It is a time to reflect on what is important us and to recognize the gratitude we hold for having those things in our lives.
