ANSBACH, Germany (Dec. 5, 2014) -- Outreach-KONTAKT Franken, U.S. Army Garrison Ansbach's German-American friendship club, celebrated Thanksgiving and the winter holidays with a turkey dinner and potluck Dec. 2 at their normal meeting place.

Col. Christopher M. Benson, USAG Ansbach commander; Capt. Christopher Meserve, USAG Ansbach Headquarters and Headquarters Detachment commander; and Jesse Alcock, American president of the club, carved and served the turkey to the German and American members and guests of the club.
