This Norman Rockwell painting graced the cover of The Saturday Evening Post in November of 1943. It portrays a more somber scene than is usually represented in the Rockwell art we are accustomed to seeing. Titled “Thanksgiving: Girl Praying,” it is also called “Refugee Thanksgiving.” It depicts a young Italian woman wearing a U.S. Army soldier’s jacket, praying over the field rations he’s shared with her. She kneels, surrounded by the devastation of war, only rags on her feet. It was meant as a reminder back in 1943. It is still a reminder today. We have much to be thankful for. If you look closely at her face you will see something else – hope.
@JackCarrUSA Happy birthday to the author who got me interested in reading books. I’m currently re-reading Patriot Games awaiting Jack’s new release. 🇺🇸👊🏻📚
@elonmusk Thank you for everything you are doing and the sacrifices you and your businesses are losing to save our Republic. Please know there are millions of us who are thankful and will be forever grateful. 🇺🇸
@JackCarrUSA The Terminal List still remains to be my favorite. It had been a long time before picking it up that I was that absorbed in a book. Looking forward to many more greats! 🇺🇸👊🏻
