Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on the joys and blessings of the past year. It is a time also for saying thanks to our Iron Worker families and contractors in the United States and Canada for a job well done. Your commitment, creativity and high standards have helped us grow. As was true with the original Thanksgiving; communication, cooperation and working together can bring amazing results. I am grateful for your efforts.

As you prepare to travel or stay close to home to celebrate the fruits of this harvest season, I wish you a Happy Thanksgiving filled with abundance.

Sincerely and fraternally,

Walter W. Wise
General President
Iron Workers International
