Special
Thanksgiving
Holiday Message
from our good
friend
and colleague,
Sujit
Chowdhury
Secretary General
of the World Tourism
Marketing Summit |
"Dear Sandy,
As you prepare
to celebrate
THANKSGIVING
DAY-2008, I
wanted to wish
you and your
family a
splendid
occasion. On
this
Thanksgiving
Day, to you, I
have much to be
thankful for.
Firstly, I take
great pride
being in a
position to
communicate with
you. I am
personally
thankful for
your friendship
and support,
your guidance
and
collegiality,
and indeed, your
decency and
winning smile!
On this
Thanksgiving
Day, I am
thankful to all
Americans for
nurturing a
Government which
gives each
person a fair
chance and no
favor, that you
allow no birth
to be looked
down upon and
held in
contempt. This
is America. That
America
continues to be
cooperative
through the means
of adjusting, the
cooperation has
become more
varied and
enlarged. A
THANK YOU is
well deserved!
Yours is a
NATION of toil
and effort, and
overcoming
challenges is
the order of the
day of which you
are a Master
Navigator! As
Mark Twain said,
"this is an age
of progress,
and ours is a
progressive
land." So
Celebrate!
In thinking of
you, I remain,
Sujit Chowdhury" |
