America's First Thanksgiving Almost Didn’t Happen

Thanksgiving 1621

A perfect picture of the American Dream

A beautiful picture. Men, women and children, Indiansand Pilgrims, different colors and races, holding hands as one, bowing heads,giving thanks to the Lord God Almighty Creator of them all and Provider of thebounty before them.
