Thanksgiving Day WKNR broadcast messages from servicemen overseas to their families in the Detroit area. Two or three times each hour, specially taped greetings from the servicemen (done on location!) from allover the world, including Viet Nam, were broadcast. On the previous Monday, WKNR sent special delivery letters to each of the families advising them of these broadcasts. Upon request., WKNR then made extra copies of the tapes and sent them to the families. 38 families in all were involved.

On Monday, November 20, WKNR received a plaque from the United States Air Force "In recognition of outstanding public service to the recruiting program . " Only seven of these plaques have been presented in the last three years in the state of Michigan. Presenters were Lt. Col. Stephens and Captain Tranz of the Air Force.
