1. Well the troops do a few things differently for Thanksgiving that what i do. They played flag football and that is something that we dont do, they also had egg nog and sweet potatoes with their meal.
2. Some similarities are that they eat turkey and dressing and pumpkin pie, which is what my family does, and they also just hang out with each other for awhile which is what we do as well.
3. The soldiers sounded like they would have rather been home with family for the holidays, but they seemed happy to be able to celebrate a holiday out of the year and eat great food.
4. Some of their biggests concerns were if some of their friends would make it back from a call alive, so that they could join them for their meal. Another concern was about a young man wanting to be able to turn 21 before he is killed.
5. What stood out the most to me was that 20,000 men all joined each other for Thanksgiving dinner for just a short time and had to immediately get back to work after they were finished eating.
6. I think most of them would try to take a vacation with their family, to get away and get their minds on something different other than war. Some may just want to stay home with their family and catch up on many things and rest for as long as they can.
