Andre Bolkonsky Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 " I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens. And I recommend to them that while offering up the ascriptions justly due to Him for such singular deliverances and blessings, they do also, with humble penitence for our national perverseness and disobedience, commend to His tender care all those who have become widows, orphans, mourners or sufferers in the lamentable civil strife in which we are unavoidably engaged, and fervently implore the interposition of the Almighty Hand to heal the wounds of the nation and to restore it as soon as may be consistent with the Divine purposes to the full enjoyment of peace, harmony, tranquillity and Union. " Signed, Abraham Lincoln 1863 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Jean-Luc Picard Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Between the turkeys (NSFW) and the irony of the story, i've never understood thanksgiving. And what's that about a presidential pardon for a turkey? What did that turkey do to need a presidential pardon? And people get to vote which one lives and which one dies? That's just too weird for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
