Ft. Benning already serving the turkey

Ft. Benning plans to serve festive Thanksgiving Day meals to some soldiers a day early, on Wednesday.

Troops and officers of the 11th Engineer Battalion will enjoy a meal with all the fixins', so -- as in years past -- the staff at one facility can spend the holiday off with their families.

The lunch will also include the tradition of officers in dress uniform serving the troops, according to a statement released by the post.
