I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving, and I hope people don't stop giving thanks, just 'cause that was yesterday.
Below the fold, a list of some Kossacks who I am thankful for.
Of course, I will miss some. Not intentionally, I assure you. You can add your favorites in the comments. Maybe those comments will remind me of people I forgot to list, or (even better) give me some to add to my list who I didn't know about.
