Gratitude and Thanksgiving

Mark Alexander

To put our national Day of Thanksgiving into proper context is to express gratitude for, in the words of George Washington, “the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be.”

With this in mind, I invite you to read The History and Legacy of our National Thanksgiving.

We are grateful for Liberty as endowed by our Creator, for family, for time to reflect on how truly blessed we are as Americans. We are thankful for you, fellow Patriots, for making sure The Patriot Post remains a rock-solid touchstone of Liberty for grassroots leaders across our nation.

If you have not already done so, please join other Patriots who have invested in the future of Liberty by supporting our Thanksgiving Day goal for the 2016 Campaign today.

Thank you for standing with us, and please join us in daily prayer for our Patriots in uniform — Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines and Coast Guardsmen — standing in harm’s way in defense of Liberty, and for their families.

Pro Deo et Constitutione — Libertas aut Mors
Semper Vigilans Fortis Paratus et Fidelis

Join us in daily prayer for our Patriots in uniform — Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines and Coast Guardsmen — standing in harm’s way in defense of American Liberty, and for Veterans, First Responders, and their families.
