If you are in need during this difficult time in the US and have an Aldi nearby, the store is making an effort to make sure your family can enjoy Thanksgiving.
It is my hope that everyone can enjoy and find a measure of peace this holiday season.

He obviously did not relish the opportunity
Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest.
The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.
"I could smell the onions and mustard."
