It’s that time of year again, when we stuff our bellies, visit our families, and share what we are thankful for at the current time.
Ah, yes, it is once again Thanksgiving.

The Colonnade recognizes Thanksgiving not only as a week off for us (although we are not complaining about that!), but as a time to thank some of the myriads of people that help us out on our journey to achieve journalistic excellence.

The following are some of those people or groups that we would like to thank.

1) YOU. You, the one holding the newspaper in your hands or pointing your Internet browser to GCSUnade.com. Without you, we are nothing. We’ve said it many times and we will say it again, our goal is to bring you all the information you need to know within the GCSU campus community. Thank you readers.

2) The school. GCSU is the school that is providing each and every Colonnade editor with our education. That education we use to put together this newspaper. Without the school (administration, professors, etc.) we wouldn’t have a clue what we are doing.

3) Our parents. For the majority of The Colonnade staffers, our parents are the ones who sent us to college. Parents helped us pay for our food, gas, shelter, books, and lists of other important things. We do not say thank you to our parents nearly enough.

4) The students that voluntarily work for us. That’s right, the majority of the students that work to make The Colonnade an award winning student newspaper do so without being paid, earning credit, or anything else. Yes, the experience is priceless, but as editors, we could not do it without you writers, photographers and ad reps.

5) We would like to extend our deep appreciation and gratitude to the people that make the foundation of our great country. From the founding fathers who believed that we the people, have an unalienable right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. They are the same founding fathers that gave us the freedom of speech, expression and religion. And finally, to the brave men and women fighting for us that we may continue to enjoy these freedoms at home and abroad. We owe you this and much more.

So thank you all so much for your part. Now we are going to go stuff ourselves with turkey and pumpkin pie!
