Soldiers celebrate Thanksgiving in Afghanistan

Robert Hamilton 1 Comment World Afghanistan, Kabul, soldiers, thanksgiving

In Kabul, Afghanistan United States Soldiers at a large military facility got a slice of home as they celebrated Thanksgiving. They were served sliced beef and turkey with all the trimmings. For dessert a gigantic cake was decorated with a turkey done in icing with the words “Happy Thanksgiving” on top. Even football played a part in the festivities not far from the dining hall as service members toss the pigskin around as they played American football.
