Herat-based troops send Thanksgiving messages home
Italian, Spanish and U.S. servicemembers at Camp Arena, Herat province, Afghanistan, converse prior to a Thanksgiving dinner Nov. 25. U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Roberto Armas (center) and Staff Sgt. Chris Lenane, both deployed from McChord Air Force Base, Washington, were two such servicemembers. For the American servicemembers living among 1,600 Italian soldiers and airmen, and a few hundred Spanish soldiers, Thanksgiving dinner was more-or-less a mission in the making, but proved to be successful in the end.
