hanksgivingTIN THE TRENCHESThe military always manages a celebration ofsome sort on Thanksgiving. Here’s a look back

in pictures of what that was like!

Civil WarArmy of the Shenandoah Under General Phil Sheridan (1864) Abraham

Lincoln first recognized troops on Thanksgiving during the Civil War, in 1864.

According to the Pilgrim Hall museum, that year, the Union League Club of

New York launched a campaign to provide Thanksgiving dinner for members

of the military. They were able to purchase 146,586 pounds of poultry and

received an additional 225,000 pounds via donations. Thanksgiving meals also

included other meats, cakes, gingerbread, pickles, apples, vegetables, cheese,

and mince pies, and were delivered to troops on military bases.

Civil War: Army at Fort Sill, Oklahoma (1874)Hunting was a popular pastime in the army during the 1860s and 1870s, especially in places where food shipment wasn’t easy. At Fort Sill in 1874, 12 men caught and killed 156 turkeys and officers brought 60 turkeys, five deer, two wildcats, and a bear, and all were enjoyed for Thanksgiving dinner.

WWI: National Guard at Camp Wadsworth, South Carolina (1918)During WWI, there was a campaign to support the American doughboys by eating less wheat, meat, fats, sugar, with the goal of saving these foods for the troops. The menu at Camp Wadsworth in 1918 included celery, pickles, olives, roast turkey with dressing, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, salted wafers with cheese, bread and butter, pumpkin pie, fruit cake, ice cream, and coffee.

WWII: Navy on the USS Intrepid

(1944)In 1944, the Intrepid was in Palau and

the Philippines. Soldiers were fighting

the Pacific War, and the carrier was

struck by kamikazes in late November.

Nevertheless, their Thanksgiving

menuconsisted of mixed olives, sweet

pickles, fruit cocktail, and cream of

asparagus soup for starters. They also

had Princess Ann turkey, baked Virginia

ham, cranberry sauce, giblet gravy, celery

apple nut dressing, candied yams, and

snowflake potatoes (which were mashed

potatoes mixed with sour cream, cream

cheese, and spices). For dessert, there

was plum pudding, vanilla sauce, and

apple pie a la mode.

Vietnam War: Army in Vietnam

(late ’60s/early ’70s)

During Vietnam, even soldiers on the front

lines were able to enjoy Thanksgiving dinner.

Choppers dropped off Mermite cans containing

hot turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, cold

cranberry sauce, cornbread stuffing, and peas.

To wash it down, they had hot canteen water.

ThanksgivingIN THE TRENCHES

Cold War: Navy in Hawaii (1952)Even before Hawaii became the 50th state, the Navy accommodated Thanksgiving dinner for the troops. They served turkey with all of the trimmings, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, sliced ham, turkey and dressing, green peas, and a salad bar with fruits, nuts, and candies. There were also mince, apple, and pumpkin pies.

“Was the Navy’s Thanksgiving chow good this year? Here’s the answer–a picture that speaks for itself. Devoting their attention strictly to the turkey and trimmings at an advanced Aleutian base are Leo F. DesJarlait, Sl/c (left); Eulice E. Wheeler, Sl/c (center); with G. J. Lindner, EM2/c, takes time out to give that “4.0″ sign, which means “perfect,” November 24, 1944

Navy in the Persian Gulf (1999)For about 6,000 sailors aboard the USS John F. Kennedy, their 1999 Thanksgiving order included 2,080 lbs of turkey, 900 lbs of roast beef, 650 lbs of mashed potatoes, 756 lbs of stuffing, and 130 lbs of cranberry sauce.

“President George Bush eats his Thanksgiving Day dinner on the hood of an M998 High-Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV) as Marines, security personnel and reporters crowd around him. The president and his wife are paying Thanksgiving Day visits to U.S. troops who are in Saudi Arabia for Operation Desert Shield,” 11/22/1990, photograph by Cw02 Ed Bailey.

“After receiving permission from the farm owner, these men, attached to an airbase at Norfolk, England, invade a turkey pen to choose their annual turkey day repast. The turkeys were given to the men for their Thanksgiving dinners,” November 6, 1943

“Marine Lance Corporal Douglas E. Parker (Portland, Oregon), of F Company, 3rd Battalion, 9th Marines, tears into a hefty drumstick while enjoying a real home-style Thanksgiving dinner. Marines throughout Vietnam were served a full course turkey dinner on Thanksgiving Day,” November 25, 1965, photograph by Pfc. Durbin.

All Troops in Kabul, Afghanistan

(2012)This past Thanksgiving, troops stationed

in Kabul indulged in a traditional feast.

There was roast turkey, sliced turkey,

ham, ribeye steaks, chunks of beef, and

macaroni and cheese. For sides, there

was dressing, corn, collard greens,

yams, and mashed potatoes and gravy.

The military goes to some pretty great lengths to get the troops a holiday meal with all the trimmings -- a taste of home, even if its not home-cooked. U.S. soldiers eat their Thanksgiving meal at Combat Outpost Cherkatah, Khowst province, Afghanistan, on Nov. 26, 2009.

War on Terror: Marines at Camp Fallujah, Iraq (2006)Not only was Camp Fallujah able to provide a full-fledged Thanksgiving meal to the troops stationed there, but they also were able to broadcast NFL games in the middle of the night, Iraq time. The Thanksgiving menu included roast turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes, cornbread, prime rib, crab legs, shrimp cocktail, fried chicken, and collard greens. For dessert, there were varieties of pie, and of course pumpkin was one of them.

EDUCATION

By Jillian Ventrone Higher education is complicated

enough without throwing veterans’ ben-efits into the mix. Many service mem-bers want to attend college on their GI Bills but are unaware how to get start-ed. There are so many different factors to consider, for example: how to choose a degree that matches an individual’s career goals, which ben-efits to use, and what type of insti-tution to at-tend.

How can they become knowledgeable about these concerns? Conducting in-depth research prior to making a final decision is the only way. During the information gather-ing stage, veterans will become more familiar with their available resources, higher education factors, and benefits. Multiple free resources are available to assist in this process, some based upon military service and others open to ev-eryone.

For active duty personnel or for vet-erans located near a military base the

Research tools to helpservice members pursuetheir academic goals

For active duty personnel or for veterans located near a military base the best place to start is often the local

education center. Counselors are available to assist with all concerns related to service members and

their families’ higher education or vocational needs.

best place to start is often the local education center. Counselors are avail-able to assist with all concerns related to service members and their families’ higher education or vocational needs. This includes advice on programs, insti-tutions, veterans’ benefits, and other fi-nancial assistance options. Some bases hold weekly briefs that outline many of

these sub-jects. Of-tentimes, you can set up a telephone appoint-ment to seek ad-

vice from a counselor if you are located some distance from a base. This free, impartial service offers assistance with decisions as well as continued advice on your academic pursuits.

College Navigator (http://nces.ed.gov/collegenavigator/) is my go to site to begin a preliminary search for viable institutions. The free website allows users to create a personalized search for institutions that meet their personal needs. The site allows users to search based upon topics such as zip

code, level of degree, type of institution, and tradition-al or vocational programs. Side-by-side evaluations, saved search-es, interactive maps, and spreadsheet printouts allow for better comparison shopping. Students can check for school costs as well. For example, if a veteran searches for a private school and notes that the tuition is listed at $30,000 per year he now knows that attending this institution might cost him money since the Post 9/11 GI Bill currently only covers a maximum of $20,235.02 per academic year (http://goo.gl/T1N2y0). Further research would be necessary to determine if other financing options were available.

O*NET OnLine (www.onetonline.org/) and the Bureau of Labor Statis-tics Occupational Handbook (www.bls.gov/ooh/) are useful tools for career exploration. Can’t decide between two or three different careers? Use both of these websites to conduct solid career research. Topics such as required edu-cation levels, salary, job openings, and growth rates are covered.

If you absolutely do not know what you want to be when you grow up take the personality assessment tests of-

fered on the military-based Kuder® Journey™ website (www.dantes.kuder.com/). The assessment tests will take approximately thirty minutes to com-plete. The results demonstrate the different types of careers choices for which you might have an aptitude. Kuder® Journey™ offers information on occupations, education and finan-cial aid, and job search tools as well.

Jillian Ventrone, spouse of an active duty infantry Marine, has a passion for higher education. She works as a veter-ans’ academic counselor aboard a fed-eral installation helping service mem-bers pursue their educational goals. She is the author of three books on veterans’ higher education that are in various stages of publishing with Row-man and Littlefield, From the Marine Corps to College: Transitioning from the Service to Higher Education, From the Navy to College: Transitioning from the Service to Higher Education, and From the Army to College: Transition-ing from the Service to Higher Educa-tion.


JEWELRY

A wonderappears

Henry Ford’s vision and me-chanical genius produced the most famous au-tomobile in his-tory, the Model T. Who would dare challenge the car that put America on wheels? That would be William Du-rant, who was a business genius in his own right and he had a vision of his own.

A rival appearsIn 1911, having been fired by

General Motors, Will Durant start-ed to manufacture his own car -- a low priced and immediately popu-lar auto, which he named for Louis Chevrolet, his partner and famous

FORd VS. CHEVY:

Bit of Rivalry History

William durant Henry Ford

race car driver. The profits from this ven-ture enabled Durant to pur-chase enough stock in his old employer, Gen-eral Motors, to allow him to return and take over the management of

GM.

Chevy joins GMIn 1917 Durant brought his Chev-

rolet company into the GM stable and prepared to go after the mar-ket that belonged to the ubiquitous Model T. This was a bold undertak-ing since at the time, Ford sold 5 to 6 times as many cars as it’s nearest competitor. But, it was now “Game On.”

For U.S. veteran Vic Martin, this past Veteran’s Day commem-orated more than service to his country; it was also the day that his new companion graduated from service training. “Kira,” the precocious rescue dog, received training that will help Vic alle-viate stress, anxiety, sleepless nights, hypervigilence, panic at-tacks and other symptoms relat-ed to his medical diagnoses. Kira will guide him through the chal-lenging days ahead.

Shelter to Soldier (STS) is a non-profit organization that res-cues shelter dogs and trains them to become certified psychiatric service companions for post-9/11 U.S. combat vets suffering from PTSD and/or TBI.

According to Vic, STS provides a service that is desperately needed by U.S. veterans. “When I retired from the Navy after

multiple deployments and sub-sequently diagnosed with severe medical disabilities (brought on by a brain injury due to impact-ful frontal lobe hypoxia), I was prescribed seven different pre-

scription drugs by the VA to al-leviate my condition after spend-ing 14 days in the VA ICU. The drugs I was prescribed to ingest on a daily basis had negative side effects, including loss of memory,

anxiety and extreme depression. Fortunately, my wife discovered the services provided by STS and I have since been able to reduce the number of prescription drugs that I am on, which I attribute directly to the services provided from STS.”

Every day on average, twenty-two (22) U.S. veterans commit suicide (Department of Veteran Affairs). In the past year alone, the number of diagnosed cases of PTSD in the military jumped 50% and this represents cases that have been diagnosed. Studies es-timate that one in every five mili-tary personnel returning from Iraq and Afghanistan is suffering from PTSD. To learn more about veteran-support services provid-ed by STS, call 855-CUS-TMK9 (855-287-8659) for a confidential interview regarding eligibility.

LaughsA death in the family

A blonde goes to work in tears. Her boss asks, “What’s wrong?”

She says, “My mom died.”He told her to go home, but she said,

“No, I’ll be fine.”Later that day, her boss finds her

crying again. He says, “What’s wrong?”She replies, “I just talked to my sis-

ter, and her mom died, too!”

It’s great newsA guy phones a law firm and says, “I

want to speak to my lawyer.” The recep-tionist says, “I’m sorry, but your law-yer died last week.” The next day the same guy phones the law firm and says, “I want to speak to my lawyer.” Once again the receptionist replies, “I’m sor-ry, but your lawyer died last week.”

The next day the guy makes his regular call to the law firm and say, “I

want to speak to my lawyer.” “Excuse me sir,” the receptionist says, “but this is third time I’ve had to tell you that your lawyer died last week. Why do you keep calling?” The guy replies, “Be-cause I love hearing it!”

Beautiful?A lawyer was just waking up from

anesthesia after surgery, and his wife was sitting by his side. His eyes flut-

tered open and he said, “You’re beauti-ful!” and then he fell asleep again. His wife had never heard him say that so she stayed by his side.

A couple of minutes later, his eyes fluttered open and he said, “You’re cute!” Well, the wife was disappointed because instead of “beautiful,” it was “cute.” She asked, “What happened to ‘beautiful’?” His reply was “The drugs are wearing off!”

Blonde cruiseA blonde sees a flier on a bulletin

board that reads, “Cruise -- Only $5.” She goes to the address on the flier and hands the receptionist $5. The re-ceptionist nods to a burly man read-ing a newspaper. He walks over to the blonde and knocks her unconscious.

The blonde wakes up tied to a log floating down river. To her right, she sees one of her blonde friends. “Do you think they’re going to serve food on this trip?” she asks.

Her friend replies, “They didn’t last year.”

Chairman of the boardTo surprise her husband, an execu-

tive’s wife stopped by his office.When she opened the door, she

found him with his secretary sitting in his lap.

Without hesitating, he dictated, “And in conclusion, gentlemen, budget cuts or no budget cuts, I cannot contin-ue to operate this office with just one chair.”

Bride and broomTwo brooms are getting married.

Before the ceremony, the bride broom says to the groom broom, “I think I’m going to have a whisk.”

The groom broom says, “How can that be? We haven’t even swept togeth-er!”
