After pardoning a turkey from the Thanksgiving dinner table, President <a href="/news/releases/2001/11/20011119-5.html">George W. Bush</a> invites children to pet Liberty, the freed bird. "Through the generations, our country has known its share of hardships. And we've been through some tough times, some testing moments during the last months," said President Bush. "Yet, we've never lost sight of the blessings around us: the freedoms we enjoy, the people we love, and the many gifts of our prosperous land.". White House photo by Susan Sterner.
