Thanksgiving
Be a Happy One

The first Thanksgiving Day marked the gratefulness of a God-fearing and resolute people for divine mercies granted them in the conquest of hostile and barren surroundings.

The occasion summarized the finest qualities that have molded the character of the American people and made the Nation great.

With the world enveloped by the most destructive cataclysm of all time, our people have again been touched by the hand of adversity.

This day we should be thankful that the divine mercy has spared us many of the evils of this infernal orgy and chastened by the thought that war must end in God we will again like our forefathers conquer our enemies.
