MISAWA, Japan -- Naval Air Facility Misawa E-7 and above Sailors hosted the annual "Turkey Feed" for all Navy members in Misawa to kick off the holiday season, Nov. 22.
More than 40 E-7 and above Navy Sailors cooked 24 turkeys and 15 hams for the event, along with all of the standard holiday side dishes, for more than 300 Sailors and their families.
“This is a great event and I know I really enjoy this every year,” said Petty Officer 2nd Class Patrick Roy. “It kind of kick starts Misawa into the holiday season, which we all seem to enjoy a lot.”
The turkey feed provides an opportunity to bring a little bit of home overseas for a lot of the Sailors that are spending this season apart from their families.
“Being forward deployed you can’t make it home for every holiday, but that doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate them with our Navy brothers and sisters,” said Petty Officer 1st Class Timothy Larsen. “Awesome event and we all appreciate the efforts the E-7 and above put into it so that the holidays away can be a little bit easier.”
