Friends -

All across America, we gather in our homes this week with the people we love to give thanks for the blessings in our lives. We are grateful for our freedom, grateful for our families and friends, and grateful for the many gifts of America.

Thanksgiving is also a time to share our blessings with those who are less fortunate. Americans this week will gather food and clothing for neighbors in need. Many young people will give part of their holiday to volunteer at homeless shelters and food pantries. On Thanksgiving, we remember that the true strength of America lies in the hearts and souls of the American people. By seeking out those who are hurting and by lending a hand, Americans touch the lives of their fellow citizens and help make our Nation and the world a better place.

From our home to yours – have a happy, safe and friend-filled Thanksgiving holiday.

Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our thanksgiving.

And for those who can't be home this Thanksgiving, we give thanks for your dedication and service to our country. Stay safe and come home soon.
