Obama to pardon turkey
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama will publicly pardon a turkey in a Rose Garden ceremony Wednesday, honoring a Thanksgiving season tradition that dates to Harry Truman’s presidency.
Millions of other turkeys won’t be so lucky this holiday.
In the afternoon, the first family will participate in a community service event in the Washington area.
