AMERICA’S FIRST THANKGIVING IN AMERICA’S HOMETOWN PLYMOUTH MASSACHUSETTS
WPCNR Thanksgiving Portfolio, all photos by WPCNR:
On this Thanksgiving, let us remember the band of hardy intrepid souls who crossed an ocean in a boat no bigger than a large Chris Craft and settled in an unforgiving landscape and started a country in the cold landscape of New England.
They were immigrants.
They were helped by Indians who welcomed them, without Indians’ compassion they would not have survived. And, remember, those pilgrims were immigrants.
A salute to this brave band. A salute, too, to the indians who accepted them without visas, without jobs, with no background checks no green cards. No border wall. No cages for children. No fear on the part of the Indians and their humanitarian leader, Squanto
The pilgrims sailed into a bay, dropped anchor and just carved out a living after living in incredible conditions in a ship’s hold for weeks, crossing the storm-tossed North Atlantic. Here are some views of America’s hometown by the WPCNR Roving Photographer.

THANKSGIVING WISHES

Dear Friends and Neighbors,
Thanksgiving is a cherished time to gather with loved ones, reflect on our blessings, and share in the warmth of gratitude. It’s a moment to appreciate the connections we hold dear and the abundance we enjoy. However, it’s also a time to remember those who may face challenges during the holiday – those struggling to put food on the table, those far from family, or those spending the day alone. This Thanksgiving, let’s embrace the spirit of community. A small act of kindness – donating to a local food pantry, volunteering at a shelter, or simply reaching out to someone who might need a friendly voice – can make a profound difference. As we give thanks for the good in our lives, let’s extend that gratitude into action, helping others find their reasons to be thankful, too. Wishing you and your family a Happy, Healthy, and Heartwarming Thanksgiving. Sincerely,
|
