To all that is serving and has served,
THANK YOU
HAPPY THANKSGIVING
For many of us, the meaning of Thanksgiving usually includes feasting, four-day weekends, football games, floats, family reunions, or a forerunner to Christmas festivities. The “first Thanksgiving,” however, was neither a feast nor a holiday, but a simple gathering. Here is a great recipe for you and your family to enjoy while gathered together during the Thanksgiving holiday!
