And in a move reminiscent of the first Thanksgiving, base leaders invited local residents — Iraqi government and military leaders — to celebrate alongside them. Read the story in Stars and Strips

Nice story. I kinda miss Stars & Stripes, which is part of my childhood from when we were overseas.
WordSmith from Nantucket, you may still be able to receive Stars and Stripes. Just click on the link!
It surely is a beautiful act of human kindness and friendship. :)
