THANKSGIVING IN AMERICAN MEMORY 彭蒙慧英語) 11/21

Today I read THANKSGIVING IN AMERICAN MEMORY (彭蒙慧英語) on 11/21. It is about the introduction of source of Thanksgiving with proclamations which was issued in 1782 named "the October 1782 decree". With the recommendation of the Continental Congress, Thanksgiving was set aside Thursday, December 18 "for Solemn Thanksgiving and Praise" by George Washington, the commander-in-chief of the Continental forces. After reading the article, I can deeply feel how long the history of Thanksgiving is and how the American people respect Thanksgiving by issuing so many proclamations and setting the holiday of it. I have not have a real Thanksgiving yet, but I think it is great to have it by understanding it.
