THANKSGIVING D A Y,

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
November 8, 1967 [No. 3210]
A PROCLAMATION At the autumnal season of the year our hearts move us to follow the wise and reverent custom, inaugurated by our Pilgrim Fathers more than three centuries ago, of setting aside one special day for expressions of gratitude to a merciful Providence for the blessings bestowed upon us. It behooves us to dwell upon the deep religious convictions of those who formed our Nation out of a wilderness, and to recall that our leaders throughout the succeeding generations have relied upon Almighty God for vision and strength of purpose. As a Nation we have prospered; we are enjoying the fruit of our land and the product of our toil; we are making progress in our efforts to translate our national ideals into living realities; and we are at peace with the world, working toward that day when the benefits of freedom and justice shall be secured for all mankind. For such blessings let us be deputy thankful, and at the same time let us be sensitive and responsive to the obligations which such great mercies entail. NOW, THEREFORE, 1, DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER, President of the United States of America, having in mind the joint resolution of Congress approved December 26, 1941, which designates the
Thanksgiving Day, 1957. 55 Stat. 862. 5 USC 87b.
