Thanksgiving is always a wonderful day for me. I remember as a child our family would gather in Lewistown, Penn. for a huge gathering. It was special to me as a kid because I got a big turkey leg and some pumpkin pie. As I grew older, Thanksgiving also came to include football. For years, that meant watching the Packers and the Lions game. This year it will once again be the Packers and the Lions.
Callista and I have so much to be thankful for that I hardly know where to start. Let me just say God has been incredibly good to us – especially over the last year. Callista’s assignment as U.S. Ambassador to Switzerland and Liechtenstein on behalf of President Donald J. Trump and the American people has turned out to be a wonderful experience.
I hope everyone reading this will have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
