Thanksgiving became a national holiday in the fall of 1863, when President Abraham Lincoln, one of the great orators of all times, issued a proclamation declaring that the last Thursday in November would be a day our nation would give thanks.
One hundred forty-two years later, Americans around the world, continue to gather and celebrate the abundance we enjoy and the freedoms our country offers to all.
I invite you to listen to this 3 minute oral interpretation of Lincoln’s proclamation — a speech that unified a nation in the depth of the civil war.
My sincere wishes for a Happy Thanksgiving and a spirited Holiday Season!
