President Donald Trump underlined three key themes in his annual Thanksgiving Day proclamation: faith in God, the power of gratitude, and the importance of unity.

Trump mentioned the “selfless commitment” of those serving the country who couldnt be with their families, as well as the work by law enforcement officials and first responders. He also saluted them for their efforts in safeguarding the country and commended their “immeasurable sacrifices.”

“This Thanksgiving, we pause and acknowledge those who will have empty seats at their table,” he said. “We ask God to watch over our service members, especially those whose selfless commitment to serving our country and defending our sacred liberty has called them to duty overseas during the holiday season.”

In his proclamation, Trump paid homage to the historical elements of Thanksgiving, describing the first one celebrated nearly four centuries ago as “an enduring symbol of gratitude that is uniquely sewn into the fabric of our American spirit.”

“Thats good because theyve already received subpoenas to appear in Adam Schiffs basement,” Trump said, adding later that the “Democrats are accusing me of being too soft on Turkey.”

Trump, in his proclamation, often emphasized the power of Americans to show gratitude and said the nation must show it to those who protect and continue to protect the country.
