An English Thanksgiving, 1942
American soldiers followed in the footsteps of 17th-century Pilgrims and sat in the pew of Miles Standish.
...In those dark days, Americans took special pleasure in displaying their homegrown holiday to the Mother Country. The English were dubious at first but slowly realized they were being invited to share in something very special.
Read it all, truly inspiring.
