Yes, President Franklin D. Roosevelt's Proclamation #2441, dated November 9, 1940, made November 21, 1940 Thanksgiving Day in the U.S.

1869, 1940 and 1941 are the only years in which the U.S. celebrated Thanksgiving Day on the 3rd Thursday of November. In December 1941 Pres. Roosevelt signed into law a bill making the 4th Thursday of November (the 22nd to the 28th) Thanksgiving Day. From 1863 to 1938, Thanksgiving Day was the last Thursday of November (the 24th to the 30th) except for 1865, when it was on Dec. 7, and 1869, when it was on Nov. 18. In 1939, Thanksgiving Day was on Nov. 23.
