I hope everyone's Thanskgiving was a pleasant one and I wanted to share this old post about how

Thanksgiving Through The Years And Wars was celebrated?

Let's not forget those men and women that were deployed this Thanksgiving and celebrated it away from home in serivce of our nation.

Great piece on the Thanksgiving Holiday and how veterans of the past celebrated this holiday! Check out the pictures and video.

RP Members do you have any stories to share?

I can remember when deployed serving the troops on Thanksgiving Day!

I believe the cigarettes were removed in the 60s or early 70s

It may not look like much, but it sure beats having nothing.

Seeing this picture, my daughter would ask, "did they even wash their hands?"

COL Mikel J. Burroughs - Nah, not so much, and it doesn't look like they care either. Helmets on, muddy boots, turkey leg in one hand and bread in the other. It was probably one of their best days.
