On this special Thanksgiving Eve edition of The Briefing, Bill Bunkley reflects on the deep roots of America’s Thanksgiving tradition — even in the darkest hours of war. Hear powerful presidential Thanksgiving proclamations from George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Calvin Coolidge, FDR, JFK, Ronald Reagan, and George W. Bush that call the nation to gratitude, repentance, and dependence on Almighty God.
Bill also shares personal memories, encourages safe holiday travel, highlights Trail Life USA and Wreaths Across America, and celebrates the dismissal of the Georgia election-interference case against President Trump.
Tragically, the program is overshadowed by breaking news out of Washington, D.C.: two West Virginia National Guard members are shot and killed just blocks from the White House. Bill leads in prayer for the fallen troops, their families, and our nation.
A sobering, yet hope-filled reminder that even in trial and loss, Americans have always been called to give thanks to the God who remains our refuge and strength.
