SUBJ: OR/ID ARMARS SMD BCST 28-03 THANKSGIVING MSG

1. ON THIS DAY OF THANKSGIVING, LET US REMEMBER TO SAY
THANK YOU FOR ALL OUR YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN WHO ARE
SERVING AWAY FROM HOME THIS YEAR.
2. THANKSGIVING DAY OF COURSE GOES BACK TO 1622 BEFORE
WE BECAME A FREE COUNTRY. GEORGE WASHINGTON SAID WE
'MUST THANK THE ALMIGHTY WHO HAS GIVEN US THIS LAND OF
FREEDOM'. 
3. IN 1863, ABRAHAM LINCOLN ASKED CONGRESS TO MAKE THE
THANKSGIVING DAY A PERMANENT OCCURRENCE ON THE 4TH
THURSDAY OF NOVEMBER, WHICH THEY DID.
4. AS WE GATHER WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS, LET US ALSO SAY
THANK YOU FOR THOSE WHO HAVE GONE BEFORE US, AND THOSE
WE HAVE LOST THIS YEAR, FOR THEY LIKE YOU, SHOW LOVE BY
DOING ALL THEY MUST DO TO GET THE MESSAGE THROUGH.
5. I AM THANKFUL FOR EVERY ONE OF YOU. YOU ARE LIKE AN
EXTENDED FAMILY TO ME. MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL ON THIS DAY 
OF THANKS.
