1620年，“五月花”号船载着一些欧洲移民来到北美洲。

During the first winter, they didn't have enough food.

1863年感恩节宣言
Abraham Lincoln
亚伯拉罕?林肯总统
于1863年10月
建立依靠全能上帝之心和谦卑痛悔之灵是每个国家和个人当尽的责任；他们当存着这样一个坚定的盼望：真诚的忏悔将带来怜悯和宽恕；他们当认识圣经里所宣告的，并被历史所证实的一个至高真理，那就是：尊崇上帝的国家必蒙祝福。

我们都知道按着这位至高者神圣的律法，不管是国家还是个人，我们都本应当受到惩罚和整治。

难道我们不相信这场使土地荒凉、性命失丧的内战之灾是对我们放肆之罪的惩罚吗？作为一个国家、一个民族，我们当悔改在上帝面前。

我们曾经接受过来自天上的丰盛祝福；我们享受了多年的和平和昌盛；我们在人数、财富和国力上的增长都是其他任何的国家所无法相比的。

然而，我们却忘记了上帝。

我们忘记了那曾保守我们和平，那使我们人数加增，又赐予我们财富与力量的恩手，我们被心中的虚假所欺骗，以为所有的这些祝福都来自于我们自己超人的智慧和美德。

我们如此陶醉于不断的成功，沉迷于自我满足，以致不再向那创造我们的上帝祷告。

我认为我们应该做的是：全地美国人民当以庄严、恭敬和感恩的心，同声合一地承认上帝的作为。

因此，我恳请全美各地的每一为公民，包括那些旅居海外的美国人，把十一月的第四个星期四作为“感恩节”来庆祝，赞美我们那居在天上的仁慈之父。

(Dec.2 ,2006)
Good morning. This week, Americans across our Nation gather with love d ones to give thanks for the many blessings we share. We're grateful for our friends and families, who fill our lives with meaning and pu rpose. We're grateful to live in a land of plenty and during a time o f great prosperity. And we're grateful to Almighty God for the freedo m to enjoy all these gifts.
Every Thanksgiving, we remember the story of the Pilgrims who came to America in search of a better life and religious freedom. Much has c hanged in the four centuries since these humble settlers landed at Pl ymouth Rock. While they were only a shivering few, we are now a stron g and growing Nation of more than 300 million. And the desire for fre edom that led the Pilgrims to the New World still guides our Nation t oday.
Americans believe that every person has the right to live, work, and worship in freedom. And we're thankful to the men and women of our Na tion's armed forces who risk their lives to protect those rights. Thi s Thanksgiving, we are mindful that many of our finest citizens are s
pending the holiday far from their homes and loved ones, and we know that their service makes it possible for us to live in freedom.
On Tuesday, I had the chance to visit our troops and their families a t Hickam Air Force Base in Honolulu, Hawaii. Our service members ther e have deployed around the world -- to fight the terrorists in Afghan istan and Iraq, conduct important maritime exercises in the Pacific, help deliver humanitarian aid to the victims of disaster, and fight d rug trafficking. I told the men and women at the base that we're grat eful for their bravery and service and that we will never forget thos e who have made the ultimate sacrifice.
One American who made the ultimate sacrifice was Marine Corporal Jaso n Dunham. Two-and-a-half years ago in Iraq, Corporal Dunham gave his life when he threw himself on top of an enemy grenade and absorbed th e blast. His selfless act saved the lives of two of his fellow Marine s, and earlier this month I announced that our Nation will recognize Corporal Dunham with
our highest decoration for valour, the Medal of Honor.
Corporal Dunham's friends remember him as the kind of guy who would d o anything for you, his superiors remember him as a model Marine, and a grateful Nation will forever remember him as one of America's most valiant heroes. This Thanksgiving, our thoughts and prayers are with his family and with all military families, especially those mourning the loss of a loved one.
During this holiday season, we also think of those still working to r ecover from the devastating hurricanes that struck our Nation last ye ar. We are grateful to the armies of compassion who rallied to bring food, water, and hope to those who had lost everything, and we renew our commitment to help those who are still suffering and to rebuild o ur Nation's Gulf Coast.
Thanksgiving reminds us that the true strength of our Nation is the c ompassion and decency of our people. And as we count our blessings, w e remember that those blessings are meant to be shared. I encourage a ll Americans to look for a way to help those in need -- from tutoring a child, to working in a shelter, to giving a hand to a neighbor. I thank all those Americans who volunteer this season, and Laura and I wish every American a safe and happy holiday.
Thank you for listening.。
