Norman Rockwell is well known for his paintings and illustrations of American life. Although somewhat dated and perhaps not representational of the diversity of our nation they carry a message.
And this Thanksgiving it seemed somehow very appropriate to share with you his famous paintings, "The Four Freedoms."
I don't have a lot to say about these because I feel the images speak for themselves, no matter what the year it is and where you may live. It's enough to look and remember what is most important to us and to be thankful that we can hopefully still have the freedom to live our lives in this country.
This article from the Saturday Evening Post does a good job explaining the background of the creation of these pieces.

May you have a blessed and loving Thanksgiving with your friends and family.
