This Thanksgiving, Americans have so much to be grateful for—especially as we come together for the first time since the re-election of Donald J. Trump as our President again. It is a time to reflect on the blessings we share as citizens of this great nation and the resilience that defines our Republic.

For many of us, the journey here has not been easy. We’ve felt worn down, weary of fighting the forces of division, and unsure if the challenges facing our country were too big to overcome.

But in true American spirit, Donald Trump showed us the meaning of perseverance. Through relentless attacks on his character, his businesses, and his freedom, including unjust legal battles, an unprecedented search of his home, and even two attempts on his life, he never wavered. Instead, he inspired us with his courage, grit, and unwavering commitment to defending freedom and justice for all.

Donald Trump is more than a leader—he is an American hero. Against all odds, he rallied millions of us, a rag-tag army of patriots, to stand up against the bad guys, the elites, and the deep state. Together, we brought our nation back from the brink, and for that, we are profoundly thankful.

We are honored to live in this pivotal moment in history, to have witnessed a true battle for the soul of America, and to have played our part. Though we did not take up arms, we raised them in protest and fell to our knees in prayer for our nation and our way of life.

This Thanksgiving, we celebrate a victory. But we also recognize that the fight for freedom never truly ends. The bad actors may retreat for now, but history teaches us they will regroup and return. The past eight years have reminded us of a vital truth: protecting freedom requires vigilance. As citizens of this exceptional country, it is our duty to defend the liberties enshrined in our Constitution—not just for ourselves, but for our children, our grandchildren, and the generations yet to come.

So on this special day of Thanksgiving—a holiday that has always been uniquely American—I wish you peace, rest, and joy in the company of family, friends, neighbors, and a table laden with the delicious foods we hold dear. (We will get back to Making America Healthy Again after the holidays!) 

Remember to say your prayers and thank God for giving us another chance at this great experiment called America.

Happy Thanksgiving!!
