[US Navy Vet]

Mine is kida like yours. My First Thankgiving in the United States Navy was onboard USS Independence CV-62 in 1980 enroute to the N/ Arabian Sea during the Iran Hostage Crisis. Waited in the Chow Line for 2 1/2 HOURS. The Resultant “food” was MARGINAL at Best(The Indy was ALWAYS a CRAPPY “Feeder”).

Several years ago, a FReeper was stationed in Iraq and popped up a thread about a "surprise" visitor who'd just arrived -- but security wouldn't allow him to disclose who it was.

Soon enough, after back in the air, FOX's Jim Angle broke the news that GW had secretly flown in to share Thanksgiving with the troops.
