Of course that’s a real turkey, beautifully displayed. My brother served as a naval officer in Iraq. He said that the love and care and quality that went into holiday meals for enlisted men and women was amazing. It’s been a few years since he was there, but IIRC, he sent some nice pictures.
I served 20 years in the Navy. The Thanksgiving Day meals were the best, no matter where I was. On all the ships I served on, in Italy, in Virginia - turkey day was always a great meal and the cooks always did an outstanding job in preparing the turkey and all the other food.
