Obama: ‘Thanksgiving Is My Favorite Holiday, it Is Uniquely American’

‘Each of us brings our own traditions and cultures and recipes to the table’

Weekly Address: Happy Thanksgiving from the Obama Family (The White House)

In this week's address, the President wished everyone a happy Thanksgiving and reflected on the history of our country and its celebration of diversity. He gave thanks for the many Americans who sacrifice every day, from volunteer workers who serve their communities, to men and women in uniform who serve us all.

On Thanksgiving, a holiday that is uniquely American, he reminded us to focus on what unites -- our commitment to American ideals like justice and equality and our gratitude and love for our country.
