Thanksgiving in Iraq

Mike said they made a really big deal over Thanksgiving. They made sure the soldiers had a good time. He said there was every kind of food you could ever wish to eat for Thanksgiving there. There were also ice sculptures. I liked hearing that since this was their second Thanksgiving away from family. Good news though..Mike's welcome home ceremony is scheduled for Dec.19th. It will be unbelievable great to finally have him home!



Mike and his 1Sgt.

The battallion commander and battery(aka company) commanders, their 1Sgt. and SGT Major had to serve for an hour on Thanksgiving and wear these VERY attractive hats.:):)


Mike said an Indian(from India) guy put this together for them. The Indian's are the ones who mainly take care of the DFAC.
