1998 US Presidential Thanksgiving Proclamation

Thanksgiving Day is one of America's most beloved and widely celebrated holidays.Whether

descendants of the original colonists or new citizens, Americans join with family and friends to give thanks to a provident God for the bleings of freedom, peace, and plenty.We are a Nation of people who have come from many countries, cultures, and creeds.The colonial Thanksgiving at Plymouth in 1621, when the Pilgrims of the Old World mingled in fellowship and

celebration with the American Indians of the New World, foreshadowed the challenge and opportunity that such diversity has always offered us: to live together in peace with respect and appreciation for our differences and to draw on one another's strengths in the work of building a great and unified Nation.And so at Thanksgiving we must also remember to be thankful for the many contributions each

generation of Americans has made to preserve our bleings.We are thankful for the brave patriots who have fought and died to defend our freedom and uphold our belief in human dignity.We are thankful for the men and women who have worked this land throughout the decades, from the stony farms of New England to the broad wheat fields of the Great Plains to the fertile vineyards of California, sharing our country's bounty with their fellow Americans and people around the world.We are thankful for the leaders and visionaries who have challenged us through the years to fulfill America's promise for all our people, to make real in our society our fundamental ideals of freedom, equality, and justice.We are thankful for the countle quiet heroes and heroines who work hard each day, raise their families with love and care, and still find time and energy to make their communities better places in which to live.Each of us has reason to be proud of our part in building America, and each of us has reason to be grateful to our fellow Americans for the succe of these efforts.Now, therefore, I, William J.Clinton, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim Thursday, November 26, 1998, as a National Day of Thanksgiving.I encourage all the people of the United States to aemble

in their homes, places of worship, or community centers to share the spirit of goodwill and prayer;to expre heartfelt thanks to God for the many bleings He has bestowed upon us;and to reach out in true gratitude and friendship to our brothers and sisters acro this land who, together, comprise our great American family.In witne whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this 17th day of November, in the year of our Lord 1998, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and twenty-third.
