COLUMBIA, SC (WOLO)– Thousands of troops training at Fort Jackson have to spend the Thanksgiving holiday away from home, but that doesn’t mean they won’t get a holiday feast.
Wednesday afternoon the base provided a meal, complete with more than two thousand pounds of turkey.
The folks at the base say its all about being a part of the Fort Jackson family.

In accordance with Military tradition, the meal is served by the Soldiers’ Commanding Officers.
