at the Crosswinds Dining Facility on Nellis Air Force Base, Nev., Nov. 18. The Crosswinds DFAC will be serving Thanksgiving meals to DFAC apprentice. “I think that having
Airmen and Department of Defense ID cardholders on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 26. this meal will show them that even
though they are away from their imme-
diate family, they will always have the
Air Force family to take care of them.”

Airman 1st Class Sidney Williams,
99th FSS Crosswinds DFAC appren-
tice, believes the holiday meal will
help boost morale.

“Thanksgiving is about being with
your family, giving thanks, and eating
good food. Having a meal provided
helps the Airmen not focus so much
on not being with their blood family,
but showing them we are a family,”
she said. “Without a doubt, doing
this for us, the Airmen living in the
dorms especially, boosts morale. Holi-
days are hard if your family is across
the country like mine are, and doing
things like this helps a lot.”

The Thanksgiving Day lunch will
be served from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and
the dinner will be served from 4 p.m.
to 6 p.m.

The meal is available to Airmen, all
Department of Defense ID card hold-
ers, as well as retirees and their family
members. The cost is $8 per person.
