Happy Thanksgiving to all who are serving and who have served.

Happy Thanksgiving. For those underway, may the formed turkey breast of white and dark meat be well supported by the meat identifier, and the mashed potatoes from ones pulled from a fan room.

The Thanksgiving meals I've had underway are the best I've ever had!

God bless our Sailors!

Food on the Truman may not have always been gourmet, but Thanksgiving 2013 was really good.

A Navy sails on its stomach. Try winning a war without the essential food service shipmates.

My favorite dining hall was at Mare Island. during the holidays.

Mare Island…. A forgotten gem in many ways. But BRAC had to BRAC. Just a crooked real estate scam.

Yes . . . sad state of affairs, and legal theft in reality!

To all the foodies. Thanks!

There is a Bob Stevens cartoon that is hopefully still true - the crew of an airplane are bobbing around in a raft in the ocean.

Air Rescue flies over and drops a turkey. Because, Thanksgiving. Amen!

Happy Thanksgiving Day America and thank you God for I no longer have to celebrate it far from home. Remember my fellow Veterans the conversation...the one where we all shared what our families were doing back home on this day. THANK YOU GOD I am alive on this glorious day the Lord has made.

Heavenly Father please watch over all our young men and women serving our nation far from home today, and everyone say, "Amen!"
