Soldiers, families worldwide celebrating Thanksgiving-Kuwait, Korea, and Germany....
While the Thanksgiving meals are important, the holiday, as its name
implies, is also about "thanks" and "giving." As such,
Soldiers everywhere are participating in community activities and doing things
to help the needy.
KUWAIT
This month, Soldiers stationed in Kuwait came together for a Thanksgiving meal with Kuwaiti school children in their early teens.
Staff Sgt. Jennifer C. Manaday, a civil affairs team sergeant with the 352nd Civil Affairs Command attached to U.S. Army Central, said she was happy to have had the opportunity to attend the celebration and learn more about the Kuwaitis while sharing some of her own Thanksgiving experiences.
KOREA
Meanwhile on the other side of Asia in Korea, Americans stationed there this month were learning how to make kimchi, the main Korean dish, from the locals at the Annual Kimchi Charity Event in Dongducheon.
Although the traditional Korean Thanksgiving Day, called chuseok, is celebrated every September 19, Soldiers had the opportunity to partake of Thanksgiving food Nov. 15 that was different from the traditional Turkey meal.
GERMANY
In Grafenwoehr, Germany, the Army Chaplains Office will donate $24,000 worth of commissary gift cards to Soldiers and families in need at U.S. Army Garrison Bavaria.
