"Our nation appreciates the service and sacrifices that Soldiers, family members and Army Civilians make every single day. We must remember the thousands of deployed Soldiers and Army Civilians throughout Afghanistan, and around the world, who are spending Thanksgiving away from their families and friends. Our Army is thankful for their incredible commitment and selfless service in defense of our nation."
