WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa spoke about the importance of Thanksgiving in a video address to Iowans.

“Despite the trials and tribulations the pilgrims faced to be free, they took time to be thankful for the blessings they had. On this day of thanksgiving, let’s follow their example and take time to count our own blessings. I’m grateful for the bountiful harvest brought to us by farmers, for the family and friends joining my wife Barbara and me for Thanksgiving dinner and for the opportunity to represent the people of Iowa. Let’s thank the generations who came before us to ensure our liberty and freedom. Happy Thanksgiving,” Senator Grassley added.
