201124-N-ST310-001 NORFOLK, Va. (Nov. 24, 2020) A special video message from Capt. Tres Meek, commanding officer of NAVFAC Mid-Atlantic, and Tom Barstow, Business Director for NAVFAC Mid-Atlantic, wishing you a very warm and Happy Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving dates back to 1621 where colonists in New England held a feast to express their gratitude for a bountiful harvest. In October of 1863 during the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed Thanksgiving as a national holiday on the third Thursday in November, which has become a longstanding American tradition.
