 Being overseas has its challenges whether it's adjusting to a new culture or being so far away from family back home It can be even harder during the holidays Which is why the Navy commands in Missawa came together to put on an event for sailors and their families This is our annual Navy Missawa turkey feed Basically, it's a Thanksgiving type dinner that we put on to start off the holidays and you know Have a warm meal that we can all sit down and share with one another and interact Just a fun social event Senior enlisted in officers served almost 50 turkeys and hams as well as plenty of side dishes and desserts to the more than 300 people who attended all for the sake of giving thanks in spending time together Petty Officer Ben Larshide, Missawa Air Base, Japan
