Many people use Wednesday as a travel day for the Thanksgiving holiday so this will be our last post till Monday morning.

All the folks here at Forward March Inc.
want to wish you and yours a very Happy Thanksgiving!

Freedom from Want – Norman Rockwell

As we have said before we live in the greatest nation on earth. Once a year Americans come together with family and friends to express their gratitude for all that we have been blessed with as a nation. Norman Rockwell was a gifted American 20th century painter/illustrator who was able to express so much of what we experience during the Thanksgiving holiday with his paintings. He was arguably the quintessential Thanksgiving painter. We picked out a few of his works we like, you can probably guess why…

Refugee Thanksgiving – Norman Rockwell – 1943

Our freedom has been purchased at a very high price. America’s fine men and women in the armed forces have given their lives in service to something greater than themselves. Lets all be thankful for that and remember them this Thanksgiving.
