US Marines and sailors with

00:02.380 --> 00:04.547
headquarters and headquarters squadron

00:04.547 --> 00:06.380
gathered at the Marine Corps air

00:06.380 --> 00:08.140
station Ikuni Chapel to enjoy

00:08.140 --> 00:10.362
Thanksgiving dinner prepared and served

00:10.362 --> 00:12.699
by the officers , senior enlisted , and

00:12.699 --> 00:15.079
spouses from the command . We do events

00:15.079 --> 00:17.412
like this for pretty much every holiday .

00:17.412 --> 00:19.635
We try to get together , so we recently

00:19.635 --> 00:22.379
threw our chili cook off to get

00:22.379 --> 00:24.546
everybody in the season for the fall .

00:24.546 --> 00:26.768
Now we're doing this Thanksgiving event

00:26.768 --> 00:28.990
and we also have a holiday party coming

00:28.990 --> 00:31.157
up . December a lot of us are not able

00:31.157 --> 00:33.379
to go home to be with our families , so

00:33.379 --> 00:35.601
as a URC it's our job to make sure that

00:35.601 --> 00:37.546
everyone feels tight knit and as a

00:37.546 --> 00:39.323
family in the unit . So we will

00:39.323 --> 00:41.546
definitely ensure to keep the tradition

00:41.546 --> 00:43.546
and throw these events . The CEO is

00:43.546 --> 00:45.546
very , very big on ensuring that we

00:45.546 --> 00:47.657
throw these events for the Marines to

00:47.657 --> 00:47.540
give back and show that we appreciate

00:47.540 --> 00:49.900
them . Reporting from Marine Corps Air
