Happy Thanksgiving

Today, we recall President George Washington, who proclaimed our first national day of public thanksgiving to be observed “by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God.”

In addition, we honor President Abraham Lincoln, who officially established our annual Thanksgiving Day to help bring together a divided nation in the midst of a bloody civil war.

Two great leaders putting their lives and policies on the line for our freedom, declaring one homegrown Holiday. A day to pause and give thanks to the Almighty God responsible for our victories and U.S. sovereignty against all odds.

As we recount our blessings as a family, remember to give thanks to our troops who relentlessly continue to fight for our freedoms and that they will soon come home safe and victorious.
