The troops celebrate Thanksgiving in Afghanistan

| November 24, 2011

Yeah, it’s the holiday that celebrates our one culture, our shared heritage as Americans, and we take it with us wherever we go.

It was usually the only holiday I wasn’t working. But I was always in my Blues at the Mess hall taking my turn serving the troops and I really do miss that;

From Stars & Stripes;

“I’ve deployed four times, and this is by far the best holiday celebration I’ve ever seen,” said Sgt. Richard Guyness, 31, of Newman, Calif. “This is more like family — because we are family.”

I thought that this is worthy of not too that this is expected to be the last one in Iraq.

this reminds me of the Cheasy Christmas show that was put on at FOB Gains-mills. Sometimes, when deployed its always the little things that matter.
