My childhood memories of Thanksgiving as an Army Brat were about going to the mess hall with my folks. Far from relatives, but with our extended, military family, and an awesome meal, more food than anyone could fix at home. At my first active duty assignment, my parents visited me and I took them to the mess hall where my Bn Commander went out of his way to welcome them. It was a special moment I'll never forget.

They are eating off trays from a military field kitchen. Times were tough, but the Marines tried to keep the troops fed and fed well.

My first Thanksgiving in the Marines, I spent on barracks restriction in Millington, TN and my 3rd Thanksgiving was in Iwakuni Japan and that whole 6 month deployment is either a black out or a blur. I'm sure I went to the chow hall at least once when i was there, but for the life of me, I can't remember it.

Only Thanksgiving I had in service was at boot. Being NG and never being activated for deployment never had drill on many holiday weekends, but as a Navy brat had many without my father about. My hats off to you and utmost respect for all who have had to go through any holiday away from home, especially if you were in some hell hole under the worst conditions.
