Happy Thanksgiving 2008
November 27th, 2008
Holidays are special. Thanksgiving has a long tradition of a family gathering to reflect on the blessings of life. For those who serve in our nations military that option doesn’t always present itself.
The leadership and chefs across all branches of service work hard to bring as much of the tradition of Thanksgiving as possible, they have done it for generations. Here is a menu from the USS Kentucky from all the way back in 1907.

A menu today would be very similar minus the cigars. Ahh, maybe on Thanksgiving in the Navy we should bring back cigars and the rum ration, I know a few in the Goat Locker that would enjoy that! :)
