Lynne Pace, wife of General Peter Pace, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, is the proud sponsor. It was a cloudy, rainy, and very humid day in Pascagoula but the weather did not dampen the spirits of those in attendance. The organizers were very well prepared with red, white and blue umbrellas. There was a lot of excitement in the shipyard. Lynne's words were heartfelt. She addressed the shipyard workers and told them she was honored to be the sponsor of AMERICA. She said the word America is enormous. It means many things to many people. Freedom, pride and diversity are just some examples. She encouraged the shipyard workers, a very diverse group truly representative of America, to do their very best. She was given a plaque made of heavy stainless steel in the shape of the United States of America. NAVAL HISTORICAL FOUNDATION ANNUAL MEETING CEREMONY AND LUNCHEON HONORING ADMIRAL JAMES L.

  • Detroit's Thanksgiving Day Tradition
    DETROIT’S THANKSGIVING DAY TRADITION It was, legend says, a typically colorful, probably chilly, November day in 1622 that Pilgrims and Native Americans celebrated the new world's bounty with a sumptuous feast. They sat together at Plymouth Plantation (they spelled it Plimouth) in Massachusetts, gave thanks for the goodness set before them, then dined on pumpkin pie, sweet potatoes, maize, cranberry sauce, turkey and who knows what else. Actually, fish was just as predominant a staple. And history books say pumpkin pie really debuted a year later. But regardless of the accuracy of the details, that's how Thanksgiving Day is seen by Americans -- except Detroiters. They may have most of the same images as everyone else, but with a new twist that began in 1934. That's when Detroiters and their outstate Michigan compatriots found themselves at the dawn of an unplanned behavior modification, courtesy of George A. "Dick" Richards, owner of the city's new entry in the National Football League: The Detroit Lions. Larry Paladino, Lions Pride, 1993 Four generations of Detroiters have been a proud part of the American celebration of Thanksgiving. The relationship between Detroit and Thanksgiving dates back to 1934 when owner G.A. Richards scheduled a holiday contest between his first-year Lions and the Chicago Bears. Some 75 years later, fans throughout the State of Michigan have transformed an annual holiday event into the single greatest tradition in the history of American professional team sports. Indeed, if football is America’s passion, Thanksgiving football is Detroit’s passion. DETROIT AND THANKSGIVING DAY No other team in professional sports can claim to be as much a part of an American holiday as can the Detroit Lions with Thanksgiving.
