The classic Thanksgiving origin tale tells the story of a group of courageous pilgrims who sailed across the ocean in search of freedom and a new beginning. Along the way, the travelers are aided by the kindness of strangers in a strange land.
The story resonates with many of the Vietnamese seniors who will celebrate Thanksgiving at First Senior Center of Georgia in Norcross this week. Many of the 500 seniors who will attend the nonprofit day center’s Thanksgiving festivities have personal tales of crossing seas, surviving hardships and building new lives as refugees or veterans.
