    Videotaped Remarks for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade
     November 28, 2002

        Good morning. As we gather to celebrate Thanksgiving, let us
    remember to share our blessings and make this holiday season a time for
    giving to those in need. By helping a neighbor, we serve our Nation, and
    we serve a cause greater than self-interest. Everyone can do something.
    And through the USA Freedom Corps, you can find ways to help at a
    school, a food pantry, or any other organization near you.
        Macy's and NBC join me in wishing you a happy Thanksgiving, and we
    ask you to make this holiday the start of a season of service.
        Thank you very much.

    Note: The President's remarks were videotaped at 3:10 p.m. on November
    12 in the Map Room at the White House for broadcast during the telecast
    of the November 28 parade. The transcript was released by the Office of
    the Press Secretary on November 26. The Thanksgiving Day proclamation of
    November 21 is listed in Appendix D at the end of this volume.
