A Thank You to Manufacturing and Logistics Heroes
Thanksgiving is a time to gather with loved ones, share a hearty meal, and reflect on the blessings of the past year. But how much do you know about the history of this beloved holiday?
The roots of Thanksgiving go back to 1621, when the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag people shared a feast to celebrate their first successful harvest. This act of unity and gratitude became the foundation for a national holiday that was officially established by President Abraham Lincoln in 1863.
Fun Thanksgiving Facts:
The first Thanksgiving feast lasted three days, filled with local foods like deer, corn, and seafood.
Thanksgiving Day football games became a tradition in the 1870s and are still a holiday staple.
Black Friday shopping started in the mid-20th century and is now synonymous with Thanksgiving weekend.
While Thanksgiving is about enjoying food and family traditions, it’s also a time to recognize the people who make these celebrations possible—including the hardworking individuals in manufacturing and logistics.
