    Has the territory been ceded to the United States where Thanksgiving is a thing?

    God bless the good work of course.

      To answer your question, yes, by virtue of being so close to the USVI.

    A good deed is a good deed but why are we talking about thanksgiving here? Did the pilgrims land on plymouth rock here and tricked the natives after they had a feast with us only then to kill them off and trick them with words of double meaning to take their land and marginalize them on their own territory like in North America and Gaza? No wonder we're such a confused people.

    Anything to emphasize the gimme handout scamming mentality as universally prescribed. Wouldn't want to disappoint and risk being respected.
