We here in the United States celebrate today and give thanks for our plenty, we also take time out to thank those who made this day in time possible. The first settlers brought with them the seed that warmly sprouted and eventually gave birth to the United States of America; land of the free and home of the brave. Landing of the Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock.
Yes there are those naysayers out there, there always will be, but if it wasn’t for our forbearers hundreds of millions worldwide would not see this day. While others live in squalor we live in plenty; a success story if there ever was one. America has opened its arms in time of need to the hungry who sought a better life, working hard to provide the opportunities for their offspring and today they take solace in their success.
Although others believe that we can do more to provide the basics to the less fortunate, we say to them, look to Africa and India and they will come to understand that your basic is their oyster Rockefeller. They should be thankful for what they have and not taunt those who have sacrificed their lives to give them a better one.
