And in 1870, President Grant made the day a federally recognized holiday.\n\nAs we each carry out annual traditions this week, whether we\u2019re feasting with family and friends, watching football, or putting up a Christmas tree, let\u2019s all remember what and who you\u2019re thankful for.\n\nAs we celebrate, let\u2019s remember and show appreciation for the men and women in uniform serving around the world to protect our freedom.\n\nAs an American, I\u2019m grateful for the peace and liberty we enjoy here at home. But we can never forget the great sacrifices they\u2019ve made through the years.\n\nDuring this season, I hope you will take some time to slow down, rest, and connect with family and friends.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T01:01:09Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://flood.house.gov/media/press-releases/congressman-floods-thanksgiving-statement-0"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.692232908681035, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
