Far-way melting pot

The veteran foreign correspondent C.J. Chivers describes an advanced base in Afghanistan, where Americans born in Turkey, Peru, Puerto Rico, the Soviet Union (when it still was) and West Virginia celebrated Thanksgiving yesterday. Oh and there were five French mountain soldiers, a member of the Foreign Legion and soldiers of the Afghan army.

When my cynicism level rises, it's good to remember that there are people who still believe in the promise of America enough to die for it.
