	THE FIRST THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION - Archiving Early America
		A Thanksgiving Day two hundred years ago was a day set aside for prayer and fasting, not a day marked by plentiful food and drink as is today's custom.
		Later in the 18th century each of the states periodically would designate a day of thanksgiving in honor of a military victory, an adoption of a state constitution or an exceptionally bountiful crop.
		uch a Thanksgiving Day celebration celebration was held in December of 1777 by the colonies nationwide, commemorating the surrender of British General Burgoyne at Saratoga.

	New Hampshire Almanac
		Fast days were a common occurrence in the early days of the colonies.
		These were days of public humiliation, fasting and prayer proclaimed by the royal governors of the colonies to avert or repent for calamities such as plagues, earthquakes, crop failures, etc. Fast days were generally held before the spring planting, and a thanksgiving day was held after the harvest.
		John Cutt, President of the Council that declared this day of humiliation, became the reason for a day of "public fasting and prayer." Cutt was born in England in 1613, emigrated to the colonies in 1646, and became a prosperous merchant in Portsmouth.

		Mother's Day was originally started after the Civil War, as a protest to the carnage of that war, by women who had lost their sons (and daughters although that much-kept secret wasn’t mentioned at the time).
		This is because Mother's Day began as a holiday that commemorated women's public activism, not as a celebration of a mother's devotion to her family.
		On the other hand, as early as 1885, Mary Towles Sasseen defined Mother's Day as "a day which parents shall be invited to the school and a programme presented, the recitation being on the subject of mother and songs referring to home." She first celebrated Mother's Day in her classroom in 1887.

		The Congress' Proclamation was signed by the President of the Continental Congress, John Hanson (1721-1783), and the Secretary of the Continental Congress, Charles Thomson (1729-1824), the co-designer of the Great Seal of the United States and a man who might have had a link to American Colonial Governor Jonathan Belcher.
		The 1730 Thanksgiving Day Proclamation was issued at the beginning of Jonathan Belcher's governorship of the colonies of Massachusetts and New Hampshire, which lasted from 1730 to 1741.
		Washington's Thanksgiving Day Proclamation of 1789 mirrored Governor Belcher's Thanksgiving Day Proclamation of 1749.

	Bush's 'Jesus Day'
		The proclamation received little attention at the time, except for some gratitude from a Christian organization that had asked many governors to issue proclamations supporting its annual day of charity, prayer and parades in Jesus' name.
		The proclamation was sought by the "March for Jesus," an Atlanta group that organizes marches and assistance for the poor in about 500 cities on the same day each year.
		Religious groups routinely seek governmental proclamations, and since such proclamations do not have the force of law, involve no money from taxpayers, and call for no particular action, they are very difficult to challenge in court, First Amendment experts said.

		Veterans Day continues to be observed on November 11, regardless of what day of the week on which it falls.
		The restoration of the observance of Veterans Day to November 11 not only preserves the historical significance of the date, but helps focus attention on the important purpose of Veterans Day: A celebration to honor America's veterans for their patriotism, love of country, and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good.
		On that day let us solemnly remember the sacrifices of all those who fought so valiantly, on the seas, in the air, and on foreign shores, to preserve our heritage of freedom, and let us reconsecrate ourselves to the task of promoting an enduring peace so that their efforts shall not have been in vain.

	MOTHER'S DAY PROCLAMATION 2005
		And so, Mother's Day originally was not a day when dad cooked and you went to church, and the ladies got applause and everything.
		It was really a day for women to come together and to call men and the world to see the necessity for living in peace, rather than giving into the ravages and aggressions of war.
		But the Mother's Day that we know today actually came from a woman named Anna Jarvis, who knew about Howe's work, and she was a West Virginian, and in 1907, persuaded her home church to celebrate a Mother's Day, and it sort of caught on.
