Washington, D.C.- Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) today released the following statement on Thanksgiving:

"I want to wish all of you a very happy and blessed Thanksgiving from the entire Cotton family. In the earliest days of our nation President Washington established a day of Thanksgiving for Americans to, in his words, acknowledge ‘with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God.' So today and every day, let us come together with grateful hearts and give thanks for our many blessings. And as we celebrate with family and friends, let us also remember our troops, diplomats, and intelligence officials serving our country around the world who are unable to be with their loved ones today. To each of you, on behalf of the people of a grateful nation, I extend our deepest thanks for your honorable and faithful service."
