A Month For Giving Thanks
Patriots ~ Pilgrims ~ Praise
The word Thanksgiving is defined as the action of giving thanks or gratefully acknowledging benefits or gifts received, especially to God.
November is the perfect month for reflection and to offer thanksgiving not only on the day that President Lincoln declared a national holiday in 1863, but everyday of the month. As another year draws to an end it's the perfect time to look back on the months past and count all of our blessings.
November 11th or Veteran's Day is a day to remember the sacrifices our Veterans have made to ensure our safety and freedom. It's a day to be thankful for all the freedoms we enjoy as Americans and often take for granted. Be sure and say "thank you" to a Veteran this Veteran's Day and let them know you appreciate their service to our nation and the sacrifices they've made to keep us the Land of the Free and Home of the Brave.
Election Day is another day in November to be thankful. It's a day that we exercise our freedom to vote for the public officials of our choice. A privilege not every country enjoys.
We as Americans have much to be thankful for every day of the year, not just in November, but this November we hope everyone will take some time to be still, reflect and remember all of the blessings that have been bestowed upon us as a nation and remember to give thanks for each of them. Remember our founding fathers and reflect on the principals that made this nation great and remember Freedom Isn't Free.
We are thankful for the freedoms we enjoy and as our way of saying "thank you" to our military for the sacrifices they make to ensure our freedom and right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, Grand Occasions is extending a discount to all active US military that books a Full Service Planning, Coordination & Event Design Package for a 2013 wedding. Give us a call to learn more details, be sure and mention our LIBERTY 2013 promotion.
In the words of Lee Greenwood ~
And I'm proud to be an American,
where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died who gave that right to me.....
God Bless The U S A !
The photo above is a favorite of just one of the military couples Grand Occasions has had the honor of working with. They just celebrated their 3rd wedding anniversary and we wish them many more years of happiness together.
