Nov 2003, I was at a F.O.B. south and west of baghdad with elements of the 10th mountain division. On thanksgiving day, we had honest to goodness real turkey, real peas, potatoes, corn, fresh baked rolls, sweet pototo pie and I still remember it to be one of the best times i have lived. I was not with any family or friends other than the soldiers I was sent to assist, yet I still remember it fondly (never mind the incoming)
when you get together with friends and family for the holidays as they rapidly approach, do they stand out as times that are most precious to you, and why life is so worth living.
I don't have words to tell you what made that thanksgiving in iraq so wonderful to my memory, but it still stands out paramount, like christmas morning back when I was 3
