A year ago, I was included in an email thread where I learned that Thanksgiving was celebrated by some people in Alsace in honor of American friends and cousins, and also in honor of the American troops who liberated Alsace in November and December 1944. I was a bystander in the conversation, but I was touched by what I thought was a truly lovely sentiment. I thought about it several times this year. There is much to be grateful for in both the present and the past.
