Instapundit has a list of sites where you can support our troops, for whom we should be thankful not just today, but every day.
And here are a couple sites that you can go to to support our allies, the British troops. Given the current anti-war mood over there, they may not be getting as much support from home as ours are.
If anyone knows of any similar sites for the other members of the coalition, please let me know.

What would be the difference between Thanksgiving menus for Jesusland, as opposed to southern Canada? How would a “Red” Turkeyday differ from a “Blue” one?
Provide both menus, and prayers.
The comments are open…
…over at The Corner. Just Control-F “Cranberry.” (If you’re reading this in the (more distant) future, go back to the November 24th, 2004 archives.)
In the meantime, I’m appalled that Jane Galt peels her mashed potatoes.
That’s what it sounds like Oliver Stone should have named his latest cinematic atrocity.
Stone gives himself much credit of “telling the truth” about Alexander’s bisexuality as if it’s some progressive badge of honor, but at the same time he can’t get away from the cruelest, least imaginative stereotyping: His Alexander, as expressed through the weepy histrionics of Colin Farrell, is more like a desperate housewife than a soldier. He’s always crying, his voice trembles, his eyes fill with tears.
Actually, he sounds like an early version of Bill Clinton. If he got the lip-biting thing down, he’d be ready to run for “Alexander The President.”
The movie apparently tells us a lot more about Oliver Stone than about Alexander:
The movie lacks any convincing ideas about Alexander. Stone advances but one, the notion that Alexander was an early multiculturalist, who wanted to “unify” the globe. He seems not to recognize this as a standard agitprop of the totalitarian mind-set, always repulsive, but more so here in a movie that glosses over the boy-king’s frequent massacres. Conquerors always want “unity,” Stalin a unity of Russia without kulaks, Hitler a Europe without Jews, Mao a China without deviationists and wreckers. All of these boys loved to wax lyrical about unity while they were breaking human eggs in the millions, and so it was with Alexander, who wanted world unity without Persians, Egyptians, Sumerians, Turks and Indians.
Read the whole thing. It’s Mark Steynian.
Kathleen Willey says that Senator Clinton had better be aware of what will happen if she decides to run for president. Like the Vietnam vets, these women haven’t forgotten that she was complicit in the lies and smears.

So much for Bill’s legacy.
Jim Oberg says that it’s possible. It’s certainly technically doable, and a cool idea. The big question, I think, is the market at the price that it’s doable for. As they point out, though, it’s certainly within the capability of many governments to do it, if they just want the prestige. I’m not sure that it could be justified scientifically. Unfortunately, the Soyuz capsule is too small to fit someone like this.
[Disclosure: I’ve done some consulting for Constellation Services in the past, and may in the future, but I was previously unaware of this.]
I haven’t (yet) commented on the American Physical Society’s little screed against human exploration, but the membership should be embarrassed over this. Keith Cowing is being threatened with a slander suit (why slander? Why not libel–it was published on his web site?) for criticizing it.
I think that they need to get someone for their public affairs office who knows how to actually deal with the public. Professor Lubell is not as bad as this guy (yet), but he shows promise. And now I suppose he’ll send me a threatening email, too.
