'''[[United States of America|America]] has much for which to be thankful. The unequaled freedom enjoyed by our citizens has provided a harvest of plenty to this nation throughout its history. In keeping with America's heritage, one day each year is set aside for giving thanks to [[God]] for all of His blessings. On this day of [[Thanksgiving]], it is appropriate that we recall the first thanksgiving, celebrated in the autumn of 1621....Clearly our forefathers were thankful not only for the material well being of their harvest but for this abundance of goodwill as well. In this spirit, Thanksgiving has become a day when Americans extend a helping hand to the less fortunate. ''Long before there was a government welfare program, this spirit of voluntary giving was ingrained in the American character.'' This should be a day of giving as well as a day of thanks. Searching our hearts, we should ask what we can do as individuals to demonstrate our gratitude to God for all He has done. Such reflection can only add to the significance of this precious day of remembrance. ''Let us recommit ourselves to that devotion to God and family that has played such an important role in making this a great Nation, and which will be needed as a source of strength if we are to remain a great people.'' <small>--[[Ronald Reagan]], 1981</small>
