Suburban Chicago marine gets Thanksgiving call from President Bush

Here's a nice Thanksgiving story from who lives not too far from me:

From AP:

A marine from suburban Chicago who's stationed in Okinawa, Japan got a surprise Thanksgiving treat today -- a call from the president.

White House officials say Corporal Steve Lanham Junior, who goes by the name Mike, received a call from President Bush around 7:00am.

The Marine was one of ten members of the military to receive today's Thanksgiving calls.

The president thanked Lanham for his service. He also told the marine from Arlington Heights to say hello to his mom and dad.
