The 379th Air Expeditionary Wing here and its mission partners celebrated Thanksgiving Day Nov. 28.

The day's events kicked-off with an Interfaith Thanksgiving service in the base theater where Maj. Gen. Roger Watkins, the 379th AEW commander, read President George Washington's Thanksgiving Day proclamation. The Victory Chapel staff put together the service, to bring together deployed service personnel of all religious faiths.

Following the services, each of the dining facilities opened to serve the Thanksgiving meal. Installation leadership and other military personnel volunteered to serve meals to service members throughout the day.
