Jason Bruno, 19, of Herndon, a Lake Fairfax manager on duty:
“I’m thankful for the weather, food, school, family, and friends. Especially I’m thankful for my job being in the outdoors and being in nature. I go camping in the winter in a heated tent with a space heater. A silicone mat keeps you insulated!”
