A Season of Thanks

1. Good Morning from Omaha,

   leave it to Drew to shine the light of reality on us so we can appreciate what we have.Somewhere are the parents of these 145 people wondering where their children are and how they are doing. How they became homeless isn;t the issue today- their families no matter what happened are still out there asking even in passing where they are. If you believe in a god you know they are in a better place and are without need. not cold, hungry, angry, lonely.

   Merry Christmas to one and all.

   Strive for excellence, nothing but your best.

2. Dear Mr Litton,

   Your cartoon today reminds me of a cartoon you did for Thanksgiving many years ago when you were with the “Rocky”. It was a two panel shot. In the first panel it showed a football player and under his picture you wrote all the things he was going to eat before he played in his football game today. Then in the 2nd panel you showed someone who was starving and the caption “This man hasn’t eaten in weeks.” and underneath both was the phrase “Who will YOU be thinking of today?”

   I feel that cartoons like that and this one are very important if only to show that life shouldn’t just be all about sports, sports, sports.

   All the best

   Louis

3. Thanks again Drew for using your talents to bring to light what is really important! I was one of the homeless for years and it is something that will be with me for the rest of my life. It is a hard life, but a proud people. My heart goes out to all of the families affected and to the long list of volunteers that give their time to help out those looking to get off the streets. A very Merry Christmas to everyone, and here is to a very prosperous and joyous New Year

4. I couldn’t help but notice that one had the nickname “Sarge”. I’m sure there are scores of vets among the homeless, not only in Denver but all over the country.

   It’s bad enough that we have so many homeless, but worse still that those who gave for us that didn’t should suffer so. I’m not one to beat my chest for jingoism, but it’s just plain wrong.

5. Nice post Drew. Great reminder for what is really important–that mankind should be our focus, not the commercial aspect. Thank you again for another great year of sport and human commentary. Merry Christmas and a Happier New Year. cj

6. Thanks Drew.

7. I know this is an old article, but the love of my life, my husband is on this list. I can not explain how hard it was to learn that he finally lost the battle with his addiction.
