Florida National Guard soldiers and airmen square off in a friendly “Turkey Bowl” football game at Bagram Air Field in Afghanistan on November 26, 2015.

While this photo is from last Thanksgiving, there are still thousands of U.S. troops spending their holiday in Afghanistan instead of at home with their families. As you eat turkey and watch football today, please remember to give thanks for the brave men and women who keep us free. May God bless our troops and their families.
