TITLE 3 THE PRESIDENT
PROCLAMATION 3163
T hanksgiving D ay, 1956
BY THE PRESIDENT OP THE UNITED STATES
OF AMERICA
A PROCLAMATION

With the completion of the cycle of winter and summer, seedtime and har vest, we come to the traditional time of thanksgiving, when our minds and hearts turn to Almighty God in grateful ac knowledgment of His mercies throughout the year.
Let us be grateful that the foundations of freedom in our Nation grow stronger with each passing year, giving hope to fettered peoples that they may walk as free men unafraid; that the yield of our soil and the production of our factories have been abundant, enriching our lives and enabling us to share our bounty with less fortunate ones in other lands; and that the forces of nature are being har nessed for peaceful purposes, bringing limitless possibilities of comfort and hap piness both to ourselves and to future generations.
It is also fitting at this season that we should consider Gods providence to us throughout our entire history. Let us remember the Pilgrim Fathers who, flee ing from religious oppression, landed on a bleak, forbidding shore and began to carve out what became this great Repub lic which it is our happy destiny to love and serve. For their foresight, their courage, and their idealism let us give thanks to the Power which has made and preserved us a Nation.
Humbly aware that we are a people greatly blessed, both materially and spiritually, let us pray this year not only m the spirit of thanksgiving but also as suppliants for Gods guidance, to the end that we may follow the course of righteousness and be worthy of His favor.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, DWIGHT D.
Eis e n h o w e r , president of the United States of America, in accordance with the joint resolution of Congress approved December 26, 1941, which designates ,the fourth Thursday in November. of each year as Thanksgiving Day, do hereby Proclaim Thursday, the twenty-second bay of November of this year, as a day of national thanksgiving. On that day iet all of us, of whatever creed, fore
gather in our respective places of wor ship to give thanks to God and prayerful contemplation to those eternal truths and universal principles of Holy Scrip ture which have inspired such measure of true greatness as this Nation has achieved. And let us, as the benefici aries of this greatness, give a good ac count of our stewardship by helping those in need and by rendering aid, through our religious organizations and by other means, to the ill, the destitute, and the oppressed in foreign lands.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have here unto set my hand and caused the Seal of the United States of America to be affixed.
DONE at the City of Washington this twelfth day of November in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and seal fifty-six and of the Independ ence of the United States of America the one hundred and eightyfirst.
