For America's troops, being deployed to a warzone is no excuse for missing out on Thanksgiving celebrations.
Even when stationed in far off countries like Iraq and Afghanistan, America's military service members still get their turkey and stuffing. Soldiers take the day to relax, enjoy some food, and play football.
For troops in Afghanistan, Thanksgiving dinner has been in the works for months. Food, as well as sparkling grape juice, is ordered and shipped up to four months in advance.
Check out these photos of members of the US military celebrating one of America's biggest holidays while deployed around the world:
