GOVERNOR'S THANKSGIVING MESSAGE
If the Pilgrims could be moved to offer thanks under the most trying of circumstances, we may also pause to do the same even during difficult economic times. I am thankful for Rhode Islanders who give everyday without counting the cost: parents, teachers, small business owners, caregivers, and the countless other individuals who exhibit Rhode Island's true spirit.
I hope that Thanksgiving Day will be a time for all of us to count our blessings and to give in return. The Pilgrims' giving of thanks was also an expression of confidence in the future: that adversity would be overcome, that want would give way to plenty, that hardship would yield prosperity. Let our observance of this natonal holiday find us no less dedicated to a brighter future for all Rhode Islanders.
Happy Thanksgiving,
Donald L. Carcieri
Governor
