President's Thanksgiving Day Proclamation

Donald Trump this week issued a formal Proclamation (full text) declaring today as a National Day of Thanksgiving. The Proclamation reads in part:

We are especially reminded on Thanksgiving of how the virtue of gratitude enables us to recognize, even in adverse situations, the love of God in every person, every creature, and throughout nature. Let us be mindful of the reasons we are grateful for our lives, for those around us, and for our communities. We also commit to treating all with charity and mutual respect, spreading the spirit of Thanksgiving throughout our country and across the world.
