First National Thanksgiving Proclamation

Whereas, it is the duty of all nations to

acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to
obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and
humbly to implore His protection and favor; Whereas, both
the houses of Congress have, by their joint committee, re-
quested me "to recommend to the people of the United States
a day of public thanksgiving and prayer, to be observed by
acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal fa-
vors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an op-
portunity peaceably to establish a form of government for
their safety and happiness!"

Now therefore, I do recommend next, to be devoted by the

people of the states to the service of that great and glorious
being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was,
that is, or that will be, that we may then all unite in rendering
unto Him our sincere and humble thanks for His kind care
and protection of the people of this country.

George Washington, 1779
