| Happy Thanksgiving |
|
|
| As we celebrate Thanksgiving with friends and families, let us not forget to express gratitude to those who make our contentment possible. Some of these individuals are near to us: our parents, siblings, children and neighbors; others we may have never met defend our freedom in distant lands. These brave American men and women in uniform, in no small measure, make this holiday season possible.
Reflecting on the origins of Thanksgiving provides us with renewed perspective on how we can best celebrate it. For instance, the pilgrims’ harvest feast at Plymouth in 1621 feted a successful growing season after much failure. Their success was largely due to the service of Native Americans of the Wampanoag tribe, who taught the settlers how to plant, hunt and fish. Likewise, the best way we can show gratitude for the services rendered to us is to serve those around us, especially those in need.
I am profoundly grateful for the opportunity and responsibility I have to serve as your senator. I am greatly honored and humbled to represent you and to serve our great state of Utah. I am also so thankful to be a citizen of the greatest nation in human history – the United States of America.
This Thanksgiving, it is my hope that we may all carry gratitude in our heads and hearts for our many blessings, and that we will reach out to lend a hand to bless the lives of others. |
