The Connect is Thanksgiving...

Abraham Lincoln - On October 3, 1863, Lincoln issued a Thanksgiving Proclamation that declared the last Thursday in November

Sarah Josepha Hale - The author of "Mary Had a Little Lamb," Sarah Josepha Hale, was key in getting Thanksgiving officially recognized as a national holiday.

FDR - In 1939, the last Thursday of November was going to be November 30. Retailers complained to FDR that this only left 24 shopping days to Christmas and begged him to push Thanksgiving just one week earlier. It was determined that most people do their Christmas shopping after Thanksgiving and retailers hoped that with an extra week of shopping, people would buy more. So when FDR announced his Thanksgiving Proclamation in 1939, he declared the date of Thanksgiving to be Thursday, November 23, the second-to-last Thursday of the month.

Harry S Truman - Since Harry Truman, every president has pardoned a turkey for Thanksgiving.

That's all folks!!!
