As we look forward to freedom, the shining city on the hill and the best days of America lying ahead, it is the men and women in uniform who protect, defend and make us proud to whom we should look and give thanks every night.

I do not so much rejoice that God hath made me to be a Queen, as to be a Queen over so thankful a people.

Most people repent their sins by thanking God they ain't so wicked as their neighbors.

No duty is more urgent than that of returning thanks.

I say grace. I'm a big believer in grace. I happen to believe in a God that made all the food and so I'm pretty grateful for that and I thank him for that. But I'm also thankful for the people that put the food on the table.
