As Thanksgiving approaches, we reflect on the past, express gratitude for the present, and prepare for the future. At Birdseye Surveillance, we’re thankful for our clients and the opportunity to safeguard your sites and communities. This season, let’s dive into the history of Thanksgiving, why it matters, and share a few creative ideas to make your holiday memorable.
🕰 A Brief History of Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving began in 1621, when the Pilgrims and Wampanoag people came together to share an autumn harvest feast in Plymouth, Massachusetts. This celebration marked unity and gratitude amidst challenging times.
Centuries later, in 1863, President Abraham Lincoln officially made Thanksgiving a national holiday to foster hope and unity during the Civil War. Today, it serves as a reminder to cherish our blessings and stay connected with what matters most.

At Birdseye Surveillance, we are especially thankful for the trust our clients place in us to protect their investments, whether it’s a job site, neighborhood, or critical infrastructure.
