With the holidays approaching, it is a time of reflection and to be thankful for what we have in the United States.  At the same time, the Occupy movement is bringing more attention to the divide between the rich and poor.  The budget continues to be a hot topic, both on the campaign trail and in Washington.

Read Susan's op-ed and remember that, even during these difficult times, we are truly fortunate.

Read Kathy's op-ed to find out more about America's nuclear weapons.
