We are thankful


We know you are, too.

For all those who are away from home this week, Happy Thanksgiving!

We know you are doing what you need to do to honor your nation, and sustain your families.

You serve all of us. And we are thankful.

For everyone else on the planet, who may be wondering what this grand Thanksgiving event is about. Well, it's about everything.

It's about the foundation of a great nation.

It's about a belief in liberty and freedom.

It's about truth, in all its forms.

It's about the beliefs that bind Americans not just in truth, but in fairness, honor, honesty, pride, humility, trust, integrity, reason, respect, and faith.

Yes, it's emotional.

Yes, it's 'over the top'.

But, yes, absolutely, it's what America is about.

People like Larry Ellison (USA), chief of BMW Oracle, understand this.

People like Ernestro Bertarelli (SUI), chief of Alinghi, do not understand this.

That's why, ultimately, great honesty will prevail.
