132 Tons Turkey
For Uncle Sam’s
Enlisted Soldiers
j>
WILL CONSUME GIGANTIC
AMOUNT OF GOBBLERS.
Again this year, as at Thanks
giving Day times in past years,
tJncle Sam’s Regulars will sit
down to a groaning and festal
board on Thursday, November 25.
There will be the proverbial “tur
key ’n’ fixin’s” served to every
U. S. Army soldier on active duty
at every post, camp and station
in the United States, Panama Ca
nal Zone, Hawaii, China, Alaska,
Puerto Rico, the Philippines and
upon U. S. Army transports at
sea.
For the statistically inclined in
dividual it may be of interest to
-learn that according to an official
War Department agency’s news
paper release last year, the stu
pendous total of 132 tons of tur
key was consumed by Regular
Army soldiers last Thanksgiving
Day, or approximately 28 ounces
of “The Bird” for each of our 150,
000 enlisted men who were in
olive drab at that time.
A typical Thanksgiving Day
menu at an average U. S. Army
garrison in the United States:
Stuffed olives, sweet mixed pic
kles, celery, oyster soup, saltine
crackers, Boston brown bread,
roast milk-fed Turkey, baked Vir
ginia spiced ham, candied sweet
potatoes, sage dressing, giblet
gravy, mashed turnips, roasting
ears of corn, butter beans, hot
buttered rolls, mixed crackers,
minced meat pie, pumpkin pie,
cocoanut custard pie, apples, or
anges, bananas, grapes, fruit sal
ad, mixed nuts, candies, cigars,
cigarettes, ice cream, apple cider,
tea, coffee, and milk.
| It should be born in mind, how
' ever, that while the average Reg
ular is appreciative of the bount
iful repast sefved his inner man,
that he is far from unmindful of
the deeper significance of this an
nual day of giving thanks.
Not a man in the U. S. Army i
but can find many things for whi
ch to be personally thankful. Ev
ery Regular Army man has good
health, or he would not be in the
military service. He has a sound
mind, too, in that sound body.
He is the bearer of a sacred
torch, the current traditions whi
ch have been consistently espous
ed by the United States Army

down through the years, in war
and in peace. He has sufficient
material hissings to at least in
su-e his physical comfrt and
peace of mind. In short, the Am
erican soldier tod..y has ample
cause to be thankful for his lot.
That the average enlisted man
of the Regular Army is mindful
of all this can be attested by ev
ery Army Chaplain who conducts
a special Thanksgiving Day ser
vice at the post at which he is
stationed. An impressively large
and devout voluntary turn-out of
Regulars is the rule, these chap
lains will tell you on Thanksgiv
ing Day morning.
The day is a holiday, of course.
Nothing but the necessary guard,
police and obsolutely necessary
duties are performed on Thanks
giving Day at our Army posts.
The big meal is usually served at
midday or soon thereafer, and the
wives and children of the married
men of each organization receive
a special invitation to join the
soldier comrades of their hus
bands and fathers at this festive
meal.
More and more, too, the custom
of inviting children from the
poorer sections of nearby cities is
obtaining at Army posts, as these
unfortunate youngsters are invit
ed, too, at Christmas.
This year, at least one contig
ent of Regular Army officers and
enlisted men will enjoy an espec
ially joyous Thanksgiving Day.

This group will not be at any
post, camp or station in the Unit
ed States or at a foreign garrison.
They are the men who will be
aboard the U. S. Army Transport
“U. S. Grant” scheduled to leave
Honolulu on Tuesday, (today),
November 23, and to arrive in
San Francisco,California on Mon
day, November 29th. They will
thus be at sea, "Somewhere on
the Pacific,” on the festal day.
Aboard the “Grant" in addition
to the homecoming men from the
Hawaiian Department will be of-1
fleers and men returning to the
United States after their tour of j
foreign service in the Philippine;
Islands and in China, for the tran j
sport, if sailing according to her
schedule, will have left Manila on :
November 3 and have sailed from
Chinwangtao, China, on the 16th,
for Honolulu where she is due to
arrive on the 22nd.
! . , !
Thus those men returning from i
duty in the Far East and from
duty in Hawaii will doubly ap
preciate their Thanksgiving Day
at sea, happy in the knowledge
that they are enroute to the home
land and relatives and friends in
the States on this most appro
| priate date.
1 But though the individual Reg
i ular Army soldier spends his
! Thanksgiving Day of 1937 at sea
; or on land, in the United States
or at an overseas garrison, he
rests secure in the knowledge that
as a Regular he has many things
for which to be truly thankful.
