CAMP FOSTER, Okinawa, Japan(Nov. 22, 2003) -- Approximately 360 Marines and Sailors dined at the 5th annual Thanksgiving 'home cooked' dinner at the Globe and Anchor, Camp Foster Nov. 22.
Lance Cpl. Michael J. Valencia, legal specialist, Staff Judge Advocate, Headquarters & Service Battalion, Marine Corps Base, was one of those who attended the dinner.
"I went to get a taste of home cooked Thanksgiving food and to spend time with my fellow Marines," he said. "I wish they would do things like this more often than just holidays."
According to Valerie Baltimore, chairman, Hospitality Foster Gospel Services, the dinner was organized to reach out to single Marines and Sailors and bring them together in a positive atmosphere and fellowship.
The Foster Gospel Services organized the dinner while donations of food came from faith groups at Foster Chapel. Volunteers from various organizations including Prince Hall Masonic Family, Omega Psi Phi, Delta Sigma Theta, and the Catholic Community Webelos Scouts Troop 152, participated in setting up and serving food to the single servicemembers.
