How NOT to support the troops on Thanksgiving

DON'T serve them a cardboard
cut-out turkey...!

i spent two thanksgiving and two christmas holidays eating in a mess hall in vietnam... the mess sergeants really tried to make it home-like and festive but, somehow, eating your holiday dinner in a war zone in a uniform just doesn't quite cut it... the best support we could possibly give those men and women serving in iraq is to make sure they get home without any more of them having to die...
