    Videotaped Remarks for the ``Thanks for Giving'' Campaign
    November 20, 2001

        The President. This year, Thanksgiving will mean more than it ever
    has before.
        The First Lady. So many have given their
    time, their talent----
        The President. ----their bravery, their sacrifice, and courage to
    keep this country strong. Some believe it's astonishing; I believe it's
    the American character.
        The First Lady. As your family gathers, give
    thanks, and think of all that can be done in your community.
        The President. Thanks for making such a difference. Thanks for
    giving.
        God bless you, and God bless America.

    Note: The President's remarks were videotaped during the afternoon on
    November 15 at the Bush Ranch in Crawford, TX, for later broadcast. The
    public service announcement and the script were released on the White
    House web site on November 20.
