“As Commander in Chief, I never forget for one instant the immense sacrifices we ask of those who wear this nation’s uniform.” – President Donald J Trump
O
n the evening before Thanksgiving, 2019, a Boeing 747 with the distinctive color scheme of light blue, deep blue, white, and tan was parked on the tarmac of Palm Beach International Airport with an American flag on its tail and a presidential seal below and catty-corner to the cockpit. By all outward appearances, its primary passenger was in for the night, looking forward to a relaxing day at Mar-a-Lago, but looks can be deceiving. In fact, as Air Force One stood idle, Donald J Trump, 45th president of the United States, was on his way to see US troops in Afghanistan. During the surprise visit, the president served up dinners that included turkey, stuffing, and mashed potatoes to about two dozen troops. Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade, broadcast from New York, was the featured entertainment. Among the things the president told those gathered: “There’s nowhere I’d rather celebrate this Thanksgiving than right here with the toughest, strongest, best, and bravest warriors on the face of the Earth.” g
