I have a sister, one and a half years younger, who worked as a civilian staff psychologist in pediatrics at Letterman Army Hospital at the Presidio in San Francisco. As some of you may know, the Presidio was one of the military installations closed during a round of base reductions. Letterman was closed in 1993.  Since then, my sister has been in private practice in the San Francisco Bay area. She has not worked for the Army or the government since 1993.

As we are about to celebrate Thanksgiving we have much to be thankful for. We have been given a legacy of the finest ideals any nation has ever received—to be a nation of equality, of liberty, of freedom, of opportunity.
