My cell phone buzzed Saturday evening as I left the “wine and spirits” store with a selection of fine vino. It was my cousin Drew. I hastened to answer because when I miss a call from Drew, it’s hard to reconnect. Drew is confined to a wheelchair and can’t use his hands like he once could. He has multiple sclerosis (MS), one of the unusually high number of Gulf War veterans afflicted by the neurological disorder. He lives at the Veterans Administration (VA) facility in Butler, Pennsylvania. I grew up a mile from that VA building, the same time that former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum’s parents worked there. It’s just down the road from the Butler Farm Show Grounds where Donald Trump was shot on July 13. Sirens had wailed past the building as the former president was rushed toward Butler Memorial Hospital in town. Among vets from the Korean War, Vietnam War, and World War II, Drew stands out. He’s only 57 years old but has been confined to a wheelchair for years now. Growing up, Drew was an athlete, a wild man, and a fun guy to be around. He was the quarterback for his high school football team, an impressive achievement anywhere in western Pennsylvania, where our high school QBs become college QBs and sometimes NFL Hall of Famers: Dan Marino, Joe Montana, Jim Kelly, Joe Namath, Johnny Unitas, and George Blanda. Drew went on to play in college, though scholastic life wasn’t for him. He instead joined the military and served his country in the 1991 Gulf War, commissioned aboard a battleship. Something happened during that time that severely affected Drew’s health. He has various theories. Shortly thereafter, his body shut down from a strange form of MS. The condition has been called Gulf War Syndrome. Drew had called to talk about Pennsylvania college football — Pitt was getting trounced by Louisville and Penn State barely edged out Minnesota. Our conversation turned to Thanksgiving at our grandparents’ house. This would be my dad’s parents and Drew’s mom’s parents. I haven’t talked about that side of the family in my columns for The American Spectator. I tend to focus on my mom’s side, the Italians, who are crazy, raucous, loud, loving, and in so many ways plainly indescribable. Every wedding was like the scene from the start of The Godfather. My dad’s side was nothing like that. It was quiet, subdued, smaller. Those gatherings were comprised of about a dozen in all, unlike the Italian side, where hundreds amassed and shouted and laughed and acted like maniacs. Unlike the Italian side, we visited my dad’s parents in New Kensington, Pennsylvania, only once or twice a year. That included Thanksgiving. Drew and I last Saturday reminisced about those Thanksgivings, recounting every type of food and drink we imbibed every November. Aside from the obvious — turkey and stuffing and pumpkin pie — we recalled a unique kind of nut-roll cookie that my grandma always made as well as Rice Krispie Treats done in her special way. There was also an odd type of local mint ginger ale that my grandfather picked up. Drew and I remembered the name: Tom Tucker Ginger Ale. As Drew and I talked, we laughed. And as usual, he never once complained about his situation at the VA. He never complains. He has always been thankful. He was thankful again as we talked about Thanksgiving memories. That brings me to new Thanksgiving memories, being made today. Here at the Kengor household in November 2024, we’re making our own. Some very unique ones. As I write, I hear gobbles outside. They emanate from our turkey coop. Currently, I have only two, a male and a female. They’ll be spared the blade this Thanksgiving because our freezer already holds several from the previous harvest. These two are for mating, for creating little turkeys next spring. The male will do his part to help ensure the eggs laid by the female are fertilized. Each year, that happens like clockwork, part of the natural biological order divined by the Creator. No “gender dysphoria” there. I will do my part by incubating and hatching the eggs. This time next year, my current gobblers will face their dénouement and find themselves an unwitting part of the Thanksgiving feast. As I write, I also hear the crowing of our rooster. In July, we picked up from Agway, 12 newly hatched Barred Plymouth Rock chickens. We had thought that all were female — i.e., egg-layers. But as often happens, you sometimes accidentally end up with a rooster. He truly rules the roost. There’s no gender-identity confusion for this cock. The woke liberal might insist that my rooster suffers from “toxic masculinity.” Lately, he has been hopping on the backs of the hens, sinking his beak into their necks as the poor gals scream. One such violation that I witnessed this week was so vicious that I grabbed the Louisville Slugger, approaching the male perpetrator Buford Pusser-style. With cocky defiance, the rooster thought about taking me on but relented from the hen’s neck and strutted off, biding his time until the next female victim. Dear progressives, you might think a lecture on misogyny would have been best at that moment, but I instinctively went for the baseball bat. Your crowing about sexism would have made no difference with this crude creature. Upon observing such violent displays, I resolved that the rooster needs to face the blade this Thanksgiving week. As I wrap up this column, I’m heading out to the coop to wrestle him, grab his spurred feet, shove him into a cage, and cart him off to Amish country to be butchered. Wish me luck! And don’t feel bad for the feathered beast. If he can’t get along with his peers, even the gentler sex, drawing blood from them, stressing them out (they’re not laying eggs), then he must go. Rejoice, feminists, he will be punished for assaulting the hens. Capital punishment. All of which is to say, we’re expecting a hearty feast at the Kengor house this Thanksgiving. We’ll be enjoying a home-raised turkey and perhaps a fresh chicken as well. For that and more, I shall give thanks. We’ll say grace and I’ll express gratitude for the cooked birds, for my family, for the freedoms bestowed by America’s forefathers, for God, and for my cousin Drew — who’s always thankful, no matter his circumstances.

Have you ever met someone and become instant friends? All my best friends have been instant friends. One shared a tent at summer camp when we were eight years old and that was it. One sat at the back of a political conference next to me and we chortled out loud at the same absurd assertions. One walked into my biology class and made a beeline, hand outstretched for a shake, to another friend and me, and became our permanent third bestie through grad school. One sat across the room from me in a support group and I just knew I had to know her and sure enough, instant friend. One was the parent of my daughter’s best friend and I called her and said I wanted to be her friend. We’ve watched our children grow up together and now wait for grandchildren. And so it was with Michael Valentine. He was a donor to The American Spectator and I needed to get to know him better, so I set up a phone call. Two minutes in, he was an instant friend. Like me, Michael is a midwesterner. We discussed our families and their migration. We discussed interstate rivalries and personality differences between Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana. We discussed business regulations and politics and policies. We didn’t talk about radar for cars (something he invented), and we didn’t talk about my previous life as a doctor. We discussed important things like children and homes and dreams for the future of the country. Instant friends. Michael died just over a month ago and it grieves me to think of it. He was a good man; decent and kind and devoted to family. He’s the sort of man who makes America great: an engineer and inventor who put it all on the line to do something no one else had done. America is full of these men and women. These are people who don’t take their freedom for granted but use it and make something for their fellow citizens — and in this case, something very useful to avoid getting caught speeding. Freedom, baby! The death of Michael caused me to meditate on friendship of the best and instant kind. What magical thing happens to cause this sort of connection? It can’t really be explained — the attraction and inner knowing. In one case, it was shared laughter and an eye roll. In another, it was a warm, strong handshake paired with a booming voice and eye contact. In another, it was the absurdity of owning chickens and having them in her suburban backyard. Her open face and self-awareness, made me feel that thing. In another, it was the quiet intelligence and wry comments. There was more to this lady. I think back to meeting a different friend at a conference. He was young, nerdy, and overly confident in his outrageous opinions. I thought he was full of shit and immediately liked him. My friends tend to be a strange cast of characters. I like individuals, mold-breakers, the people who are wholly and unapologetically themselves. It’s probably why I like writers so much even though, as a species, they’re royal pains in the ass. They have points-of-view and they’re whip-smart, usually funny, and with an “off” sense of reality. At The American Spectator, I have the privilege of interacting daily with these lovable weirdos. I’m better for it. I admire people who ever seek truth and a court jester’s ability to see through the artifice and reveal the contours of our culture while making us laugh at the same time. Writers have called me at midnight and said things like, “Melissa, I have this story. I can’t write about it yet, but I just had to tell somebody!” I’ve had the privilege of doing first passes on chapters of books and giving feedback. Sometimes, writers even listen! It’s an honor to sit alongside writers, encourage them, watch their thoughts come to fruition, and see their anguish as they get their work across the finish line. Creation is an arduous business or can be. How blessed am I to have the friendship of these amazing people? I’m so grateful. So this Thanksgiving, a shout-out to instant friends who become friends for life. What started with kismet, that ephemeral soul-knowing, in so many cases, turned into enduring kinship. When one of these instant friends dies, it’s a painful reminder of the impermanence of life. I felt confident that Michael would just be there. He was relatively young (although, as I get older, young keeps getting redefined) and so alive. It seems impossible that he’s gone. It’s been over five years now since one of my other instant and lifelong friends died of cancer. She shared a tent with me when we were eight and we knew all, and I mean all, of each others’ secrets. I miss her every day. Friendship, of all the blessings we have as humans, is quite possibly the greatest because it’s not, as C.S. Lewis points out, necessary. Friendship just adds color and texture to life. Friendship makes life worth living. Michael Valentine made a difference in the world in so many tangible and important ways. What I’ll remember him for, though, is the instant friendship we formed on a phone call a couple of years ago. It was a small connection that made a significant difference in my life. For him, I am grateful. May his memory be blessed.

It’s horrible but true. Two days ago I was 80 years old. That’s OLD and the next step is eternity. I will write more about this in the near future but for now, just a few thoughts: First, I am grateful beyond words to be married to my wifey, Alexandra Denman. We have been together since 1968 as man and wife. We’ve had quarrels but the end result is that we are together. She is a saint of forgiveness, kindness, beauty, intelligence, and love of country. From the first moment I laid eyes on her on July 4, 1966, I knew she was the one and only girl for me. I have been blessed beyond words to have had many girlfriends. But my wife is superhuman in terms of saintly qualities. There is no one like her on the earth. Second, I am blessed beyond words to have been born in America. So were my parents and grandparents. My wife’s ancestors were American war heroes going back to the Revolution. My wife’s father, Col. Dale Denman Jr., fought against the Nazis in World War II sufficient to be awarded the Silver Star. In Vietnam, he did more. His brother, Bob Denman, both of them from Arkansas, fought like a banshee against the Chicoms in the horrendous battle of the Chosin Reservoir. His courage was literally indomitable. Don’t ever tell me anything bad about Southerners, Neil Young. They are my heroes. God has been wildly good to me in many, many regards. One of them was to allow me to work alongside John R. Coyne Jr. and Aram Bakshian Jr. in the White House, led by the Ultimate Peacemaker, Richard M. Nixon. I have also been deeply privileged to be a friend of Julie Nixon Eisenhower, as fine a human as there has ever been. I’ll write more about all of this very soon.

The year that is drawing toward its close has been filled with the blessings of fruitful fields and healthful skies. To these bounties, which are so constantly enjoyed that we are prone to forget the source from which they come, others have been added, which are of so extraordinary a nature that they cannot fail to penetrate and even soften the heart which is habitually insensible to the ever-watchful providence of Almighty God. — Abraham Lincoln, A Thanksgiving Proclamation Thanksgiving is that wonderful day where we gather around a table with friends and family and indulge in turkey made slightly better by cranberry sauce and an ungodly amount of pie, while desperately distracting ourselves from unpleasant topics of conversation by watching a Football game and the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. That, at the very least, is the way our modern agnostic America celebrates it.  And why shouldn’t we? What we were all told in grade school was that the very first Thanksgiving was celebrated shortly after the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock. Going by the construction-paper pilgrim hats and drug store window stickers, it’s rather difficult to tell whether they were giving thanks to their Native American benefactors or some deity.  A slightly deeper dig into the matter via a quick Google search generally results in a rather depressing array of articles with titles like: “Rethinking Thanksgiving Celebrations: Native Perspectives on Thanksgiving” or “The true, dark history of Thanksgiving.” While these academic diatribes are, to the pessimist, an interesting read, they hardly capture the spirit of the matter. Instead, they turn the holiday into a guilt fest — and guilt is never a good reason to indulge in large quantities of food. It’s also, frankly, not fair to the Pilgrims, who left plenty of written records behind them. They talked long and hard about their dreams for the future, about the kind of society they wanted to establish (John Winthrop’s “Shining City on a Hill” is an oft-used and abused example), and about their goodwill toward their Native American neighbors, but they didn’t talk much about this grand Thanksgiving dinner they were supposed to have had. We have just one contemporary record of the event. A paragraph in a letter written by Edward Winslow in 1621 doesn’t once use the word “thanksgiving.”  That historical narrative may help relieve some of the guilt woke academics want us to indulge in — after all, it’s hard to feel guilty about an event that may or may not have happened. It turns our Pilgrim’s story into an American myth on the level of Johnny Appleseed. It’s a good myth, but myths are seldom a good reason to celebrate a holiday. Fortunately, we don’t celebrate Thanksgiving because the Pilgrims did — the tradition is both younger and older. The reason has much more to do with Abraham Lincoln. In 1863, the United States was embroiled in a bloody Civil War that set brother against brother and had torn the country in two. The end of the war wasn’t yet in sight (the Confederacy wouldn’t surrender for another two years), although the Union had had a rather heartening run at Chancellorsville, Vicksburg, and Gettysburg (it had lost the Battle of Chickamauga, but not badly). The national mood, one imagines, wasn’t great. Then, on Oct. 3, Lincoln called for a national day of thanksgiving to be celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November.  Americans — Democrats and peace advocates in particular — weren’t happy with the new holiday. They refused to celebrate it. Some of them proclaimed that Lincoln was trying to impose New England Protestantism on the nation, which was not a hard argument to make. Lincoln made it clear that the point of establishing Thanksgiving was to recognize the role Divinity had played in full fields, expanding frontiers, growing populations, and the increase of freedom (Lincoln had signed the Emancipation Proclamation just 10 months earlier).  That said, it was perhaps a little unfair to claim that Lincoln was trying to conduct evangelism via the institution of national holidays. After all, he wasn’t the first president to call for a national day of thanksgiving, that would be George Washington.  At the time, the American Revolutionary War had been concluded for six tumultuous years. Revolutionary soldiers demanding pay had been a constant thorn in the side of a dysfunctional government that was trying to figure out how to write a constitution for the 13 colonies. That Constitution finally went into effect in March 1789, and on Oct. 3 of that year, Washington proclaimed Thursday, Nov. 26 a national day of thanksgiving — and he wasn’t shy about saying that God was to be the object of the nation’s gratitude: Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be—That we may then all unite in rendering unto him our sincere and humble thanks…. and also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech him to pardon our national and other transgressions. Washington had intended that future presidents also proclaim days of thanks, and both James Madison and John Adams followed suit. Thomas Jefferson, on the other hand, never did. He was concerned that doing so would infringe on the separation of Church and state and viewed such proclamations as remnants of British rule. Perhaps, in some sense, Jefferson was right. The idea of a national day of thanksgiving predates not only Washington, Madison, and Adams, but even the discovery of the North American continent itself. In medieval (and, at the time, Catholic) England, national days of thanks looked a little different. Back in 1415, for instance, the English victory at the Battle of Agincourt was celebrated by a day of thanks that included a massive festival, a Te Deum (something the Puritan Pilgrims would have been horrified by), religious liturgies, and feasting. (Of course, the British weren’t the only ones, the rest of Europe also partook in extra holidays.) Those celebrations didn’t go away when England turned Protestant. Annual thanksgivings were frequently celebrated on important national anniversaries.  Thanksgiving, in whatever form it has taken throughout the centuries, has always had something our modern American version is missing, namely, a Divine object of gratitude. Our typical course of Turkey and Football kind of misses the whole point — an easy thing to do when our food comes from a supermarket shelf and our household goods show up at our doorstep overnight courtesy of Amazon. The day is, and always has been, one devoted to God in recognition of His benevolence.  So as you gather with your family around a table full of God’s great gifts, consider singing a Te Deum, reciting a Psalm, or simply raising a glass to the Maker of Heaven and Earth whose Divine Providence has seen fit to sustain us for yet another year.
