Lincoln's 1863 Thanksgiving Day Proclamation

11-21-2007, 10:13 PM

I attach Lincoln's Thankgiving Proclamation of 1863. While many of wish each other a "Happy" Thanksgiving it truly is a time for reflection and humility for the things we are blessed with in this country. Lincoln, I believe, understood this and set aside a day for giving thanks to God in spite of the loss and horror of the war the country was enduring.

May your Thanksgiving day be full of joy.
