For many years, the Saturday Evening Post captured the pulse of America, particularly its cover art. In 1943, Norman Rockwell provided one of the iconic images of Thanksgiving with this cover.

Ironically, the cover appeared in March, not November, and, as its title illustrates, was in reference to one of President Franklin Roosevelt’s 4 Freedoms.
Fifteen years earlier, in 1938, J.C. Leyendecker portrayed what, to many modern Americans, Thanksgiving is really all about.

Yet, it was Rockwell’s cover of 1945 that speaks to contemporary times as much as when it was first published.

Happy Thanksgiving to all of our readers, to all of your family and friends and to all of our men and women in uniform.
