More than 500 hungry diners enjoyed a scrumptious Thanksgiving meal Nov. 17 during Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center's first Thanksgiving celebration at its new home. Besides turkey, diners feasted on ham, collard greens, corn on the cob, cranberry sauce, cornbread stuffing, mashed potatoes and candied sweet potatoes. Appetizer offerings included shrimp and fruit cocktail, deviled eggs, Caesar salad and cheese and crackers. Dessert selections included the traditional pumpkin and pecan pies, along with apple pie, pumpkin spice ice cream and vanilla ice cream. Volunteers from the hospital, Dental Command and Warrior Transition Unit dished out the delicious entrees and side dishes. An estimated five dozen military and civilian food-service personnel did double duty as sous chefs in slicing and dicing to create the delicious meal.
