According to an article in USA Today, 144,854 pounds of turkey, 4,308 cans of cranberry sauce, and 38,292 pies were sent to Iraq this year hoping to bring some Thanksgiving cheer to the many service men and women over seas. The most interesting part of the article is that only 144,854 pounds of turkey were sent this year compared to last year when 376,924 was sent. This just reflects the amount of troops that have been with-drawled in one years time. Hopefully it will be even less by next thanksgiving.
