Today we have a chance to spend time with friends and family, to eat well, and to reflect on the words of the old song, a song which says “there but for fortune go you or I.”

There are many places in the world which are neither free nor fortunate. Whatever our debates and disputes, if this Thanksgiving you are sitting down to dinner in the U.S. then you are fortunate indeed.

As these words are written we have members of the U.S. military engaged in dangerous combat in Iraq and Afghanistan. Let us all hope for their safe and soon return.

Let us also remember on this date in 1963 that John Kennedy was murdered. This terrible event changed American politics and degraded our discourse and debate. It was an awful day and now, many years later, the tragedy of that event lingers.
