BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
OF AMERICA
A PROCLAMATION
The custom of devoting one day each year to national thanksgiving is a wise and an ancient one, hallowed by observ ance in the days before we became a Nation, and sanctioned throughout the succeeding generations. I t is therefore in keeping with our oldest traditions that at the fruitful season of the waning year we turn again to Almighty God in grateful acknowledgment of His mani fold blessings.
At this time of thanksgiving, may we express our deep appreciation of those forebears who, more than three cen turies ago, celebrated the first Thanks giving Day. Through their industry and courage, our Nation was hewn from the virgin forest, and through their stead fastness and faith, the ideals of liberty and justice have become our cherished inheritance.
May we lift up our hearts in special prayers of gratitude for the abundance of our endowments, both material and spiritual, for the preservation of our way of life, in its richness and fullness, and for the religious faith which has wielded such a beneficent influence upon our destiny. May. we show our thanks for our own bounty" by remembrance o f those less fortunate, and may the spirit of this Thanksgiving season move us to share with them to alleviate their need.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, D W IG H T D.
EISENHOWER, President of the United States of America, having in mind the joint Congressional resolution of Decem ber 26,1941, which designated the fourth Thursday of November in each year as Thanksgiving Day and made that day a legal holiday, do hereby proclaim Thurs day, the twenty-fourth day of November, 1955, as a day of national thanksgiving;
and I urge all our citizens to observe the day with reverence. Let us, on the ap pointed day, in our homes and our accus tomed places of worship, each according to his own faith, bow before God and glve him humble thanks.
IN W ITNESS WHEREOF, I have here unto set my hand and caused the Seal of the United States o f America to be affixed.
DONE at the City of Washington this eleventh day of October in the year o f our Lord nineteen hundred and seal fifty-five, and of the Independ ence of the United States of America the one hundred and eightieth.
