We want to hear from you

What should Americans be thankful for this Thanksgiving?

The U.S. tradition dates back to 1621, when Pilgrims and Indians gathered to celebrate a successful harvest. Over the years, it became a national holiday.

Today's economy does not suggest a "successful harvest," but Thanksgiving is coming, anyway.

We'd like to gather readers' thoughts on what this nation and its citizens should be thankful for this year.

If all goes well, the submissions will be published on Thanksgiving Day.

If at all possible, please respond by e-mail, sending your message to editor@salisburypost.com. E-mail is quick and easy, and Thursday will be here before you know it.

Otherwise, responses may be dropped off at the Post at 131 W. Innes St., faxed to 704-639-0003 or mailed to Elizabeth Cook, Salisbury Post, P.O. Box 4639, Salisbury, N.C. 28144. The deadline is 5 p.m. Tuesday.

Please include your name and daytime telephone number, and keep it short if you can — 250 words or less.
