Soldiers, families worldwide celebrating Thanksgiving


Soldiers, families worldwide celebrating Thanksgiving

In 1863, President Lincoln proclaimed the last Thursday of November as a "day of Thanksgiving." Since that time, Soldiers and their families have been celebrating the holiday.
This year, Soldiers are making plans to be with families and friends and those stationed overseas are calling, writing or using social media to contact loved ones back home.
Dining facilities worldwide are gearing up to provide the feast of traditional turkey or ham with all the fixings. Commissary shoppers worldwide are gobbling up Thanksgiving food items as well. Soldiers are celebrating all over the world.
