SD? Ft. Meade is in MD. Or did they move it from SD?A look at what the Soldiers has for Thanksgiving at FT Meade, SD
Fort Meade is a former United States Army post located just east of Sturgis, South Dakota. The fort was active from 1878 to 1944;SD? Ft. Meade is in MD. Or did they move it from SD?
JKC,I have lived in SD all my life and never heard of Ft Meade until I read this. I will have to check it out next time I go to Sturgis. I go to the Black Hills Corvette Classic almost every year and have drag raced in Sturgis. That menu has some awesome foods listed and I don't think anyone would walk away hungry from that meal. Seeing cigarettes and cigars listed is really going back in time.
His buddies would have to be pushing 100 today. Just how old do you think JKC is?JKC,
Here is the "battle roster" from the 1941 Thanksgiving meal at Ft Meade. Maybe some names you might recognize?
No I do not recognize anyone on the roster. About half of our Corvette club has past veteran's as members of the club that served somwhere between about 1967 and 1977.JKC,

South Dakota is a smaller population state, and not a large state for immigrants from other states like Arizona, Texas, Florida, Colorado, etc. So, I would not be surprised if a name might trigger a memory.His buddies would have to be pushing 100 today. Just how old do you think JKC is?
Malo, did you enjoy the meal on the USS Wake Island? How were the parker house rolls?USS Wake Island, WW2

No, but they put a really good spread on the USS Ranger CV-61, their house rolls were to die for, melt in your mouth.Malo, did you enjoy the meal on the USS Wake Island? How were the parker house rolls?
