Norman Rockwell's Four Freedoms ...

     The iconic American painter created these images based on a State of the Union speech by President Franklin Roosevelt in 1941, just months before our entry into WWII.  Rockwell offered them to the government to use in bond drives; the government initally declined but later accepted his offer. 
     They were first published in the Saturday Evening Post, which is where I first saw them, in library copies of that magazine.  They astound me to this day.
     This Thanksgiving, please keep these important freedoms in mind and be thankful we still have them when you say your blessing over dinner this Thursday.
