“I want to ask everyone in the United States – whether you’re at home, at sea, or in another country – to take some time on the last Thursday of November to say thank you to God. This is a special day to show how grateful we are for all the good things in our lives.
I also ask that while you’re giving thanks, remember those who are hurting because of the conflicts. Think about the families who have lost loved ones – the wives who are now widows, the children who have become orphans, and all the people who are sad and suffering.
Please pray that God will help our country heal from these terrible tensions. We hope for peace, kindness, and that all of us can come together and be united again.”
