Thanksgiving Dinner Back in the Good Old Days - Finger Licking Good!

Thanksgiving Dinner Back in the Good Old Days - Finger Licking Good!

Our turkey dinner in Vietnam!

Add a heat tab.... and a veritable feast. Yummie!

Delicious and nutritious. It was better with hot

sauce.

Some guys liked Nước chấm sauce with it.

Nước chấm is a Vietnamese dipping sauce -

an acquired taste.

Happy Thanksgiving.

The Most Unpopular C-Ration, Called Ham and and Obscenity by the Troops

C Rations

P-35 "John Wayne" Can Openers

A friend asked if we were issued can openers for our C-Rations. We were!

Official military designations for the P-38 include

"OPENER, CAN, HAND, FOLDING, TYPE I".

We were issued a P-38 can opener, commonly called a "John Wayne". Many of us wore the opener around our necks with our dog tags. They were small and handy and many of us still have them.

From Wikapedia

The P-38, developed in 1942,^[1] is a small can opener that was issued in the canned field rations of the United States Armed Forces from World War II to the 1980s. Originally designed for and distributed in the K-ration, it was later included in the C-ration. As of 2020, it is still in production and sold on a worldwide market.^[2]

Dear Member

The link to the December 2020 Issue of the Sarasota Breeze newsletter is below.

Unfortunately, due to the continued and expanding COVID-19 infections, the Board has cancelled the Military Gala originally scheduled for Sunday December 6.

We are still planning to have the January Luncheon at Michael’s on East on Friday January 15, 2021. The menu and reservation form for this event will be published next month.

As noted in the newsletter, Ron Wozniak, our chapter’s Immediate Past President, YAHOO and Support Our Troops (SOT) coordinator is seriously ill with COVID-19. Please keep him and his wife Linda in your prayers.

I hope you enjoy this issue of The Breeze - and as always, please let me know if you have a suggestion on how we can improve it.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.

Stay Safe
