These guys are off in Iraq still trying to defend our country and still celebrate the day of thanksgiving. Here we are safe in our homes and get to relax all day with our families. There they get to sit down with there troops and eat but not for long, and that only if they do get to eat. Some of the troops don't even get to celebrate thanksgiving because they are still having to check for road side bombs or train and equip Iraqi soldiers.
The same is that some do still get to celebrate thanksgiving. They get to even watch live feeds of football even though there is comes on at 12 midnight. They also get all the similar foods such as: turkey, potatoes, yams, stuffing, and the works.
All the soldiers even with the situation they were in are still thankful. They are over there defending us and there families thankful that their families are safe. Thankful for that each day that themselves and the rest of their troops make through each day safe and alive till they can make it back home. Then thankful for the food and the time that they can celebrate thanksgiving.
From the article I did not read any concerns from anybody that was interviewed. They are happy that they are defending our freedom and fighting terrorism.
What stood out the most was that they still had a church service. Also that everyone built a wall with pictures of there loved ones back home, their friends there, and even ones lost to be remembered and give thanks to on that day.
Probably number one thing they would if they were back in the U.S. is want to be with all their family members. Just because that is probably the biggest tradition of Thanksgiving, is that all your family and friends get together and eat food and love each other.
