President Harry S. Truman is believed to be the first to officially pardon a turkey in 1947, starting this annual tradition. The ceremony has since become a humorous event in the White House, with turkeys sent to live at farms after being pardoned. The event not only highlights Thanksgiving but also emphasizes themes of gratitude and kindness.
