Ferguson, Missouri (CNN) -- National Guard members were on duty in Ferguson, Missouri, on Thanksgiving but the people who came up to them only wanted to spread goodwill, bringing turkey and other treats. CNN affiliate KSDK reported that dozens of citizens visited one post at a shopping center. "We just all have to make sure that we are taking care of one another," Terry Pimmel told the station. "That is our mission." Gov. Jay Nixon also stopped by to see the troops. Other volunteers bundled up and painted boards that cover the holes where windows used to be in buildings trashed during recent protests, according to CNN affiliate KMOV.
