Turkey and Thanksgiving
The turkey symbolizes altruism and self-sacrifice. It is the centerpiece of today's Thanksgiving dinner, which commemorates the first Thanksgiving in 1621, when the Pilgrims and the Native Americans shared a harvest meal. Ben Franklin championed the turkey as our national symbol, but the bald eagle won!
