Please let me know how the Turducken turns out. I've wanted to try one since I found out about them, but I've been afraid to.

Our Thanksgiving will be pretty traditional. My parents are visiting (Haven't had a family gathering in probably 10 years) One of the single Soldiers from my unit will also be over. If any of them can't make it home, I always offer mine for the holidays. I guess you can call that the non-typical tradition in my house.

This year we made a mincemeat pie for the first time, and I plan on opening a can of Haggis. My father has never tried it before.

To everyone, have a Happy Thanksgiving. And when you're saying your Thanksgiving prayer, please remember those in harms way fighthing to preserve our freedoms and traditions.

But it is a very typical, and commendable, tradition on a military installation. I never had to worry about being away from family on Thanksgiving when I was an enlisted man because there was always a Sergeant to invite me over.
