“As we come together this week to break bread with friends and family, many of whom we may not have seen in some time; let us give thanks for the many blessings we have both as a people and as individuals.

Let us give thanks for the nation we live in and the many bounties we have been blessed with. Let us give thanks to those brave young men and women who are at this moment in hostile lands defending our way of life. Let us give thanks for the beautiful islands we call home. And lastly, let us give thanks for our family and friends, who we share this holiday with.

May God continue to bless American Samoa, the United States, and all who stand to defend her.”
