Americans Thankful Across Nations During Thanksgiving
Across the globe Americans mark Thanksgiving with service and feasts. In Florida families hosted servicemen amid Cuban crisis tensions while Key West and Fort Lauderdale followed suit. In Iowa, Secretary of the Navy Fred North joined a Plymouth Day reenactment and a Des Moines church service drew crowds. Virginia’s governor reframed the holiday as a memorial to 1619 Berkeley settlers. Pittsburgh fed the homeless with Turkey Day meals, as Plymouth Mass celebrated the 1612 Ainsworth psalter feast with Pilgrims and Indians. Milan hosted a big student feast for American and Italian guests. In Leyden and Delfshaven Netherlands, ambassadors and consuls read Kennedy’s proclamation at historic Pilgrim sites.
