VIDEO: An American Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is an American Holiday that celebrates the Pilgrims first successful harvest in America.

These days, the holiday has a different meaning to every American family. For my family, it's a day of peace, happiness, food and festivities.

For Hartland Farmer Patricia Roeske and her family, who each year for Thanksgiving, the holiday means a lifeline.

Roeske said not only is the farm a major source of income for her family, it also gives her pleasure to see people enjoy the natural, healthy meals that are produced from her farm.
