“You know, Thanksgiving is a uniquely American holiday that tracks its history back to the very early beginnings of settlements of our continent. It’s based on the notion that we are thankful to our creator, God, for all the blessings that we have. And there are no people in the world that should be more grateful than the American people. What we have had over the last 200 years is unparalleled in human history — that generation after generation of Americans has been able to leave the next better off.
“We’re thankful for the blessings of our country, but we’re also cognoscente of the responsibilities that come with those blessings.

“So from my family to yours, we wish you a Happy Thanksgiving.”
