American troops marked their last Thanksgiving in Iraq Thursday with turkey, stuffing and a rocket fire alarm.These folks deserve our everlasting thanks.
Fewer than 20,000 American troops remain in Iraq at eight bases across the country. All of the forces must be out of Iraq by the end of this year, and American soldiers have been busily packing up their equipment and heading south.
Many of the bases no longer have civilian contractors making meals for them, so the troops have been eating prepackaged meals.
