We are proud to share an portion of an article by one of our own, writer Joanna Dannah, on www.NewRightNetwork.com: Rethinking Thanksgiving in the Era of Trump"The First Thanksgiving Pilgrims who upended their lives, hoping to avoid religious persecution, wound up testing their faith by crossing the ocean, surviving hardships, and resettling in a new world. Others traveled the same path but were from different starting points and for various reasons. They were conquerors, prisoners, wealthy merchants, farmers, ship captains, stowaways, crewmen, soldiers, explorers, mothers, and fathers. Overcoming difficulty, failure, disease, and physical attack was a daily ritual. The weak did not survive. Strong genes, good instincts, and intelligence prevailed." "To recognize their fortitude for making it in the new world, and to honor the indigenous people who helped, taught, and befriended them, they joined together in celebration and gave thanks to their heavenly maker. That beautiful, meaningful moment became known as the first Thanksgiving. It has become an American tradition. The last Thursday of November has always been the Thanksgiving holiday. Today, at times, it seems sadly overlooked, being replaced with football games and sales."
