How You Can Adopt a Soldier This Thanksgiving in Arizona

There's nothing better than spending the holidays with loved ones, and Thanksgiving is one of the sweetest times of the year to share seasonal magic.

But what if your family is hundreds of miles away?

Soldiers stationed on Fort Huachuca may face this holiday alone. That's where you can help. You can participate in this year's Thanksgiving Adopt-A-Soldier program.

How Your Family Can Participate in the Adopt a Solider Program

You can share the bounty with soldiers stationed in Arizona and say ‘thank you’ in person. This Thanksgiving, consider the 111 Military Brigade’s Adopt-A-Soldier program.

Let's face it: we always cook a lot of food for the holidays. Wouldn't it be nice to share some of that with others?

There's a lot to be grateful for, and Thanksgiving is all about sharing memories with friends and family. You can extend the love this year by creating a special family environment for one or more of our local soldiers.

Many soldiers on Fort Huachuca won't be able to return home to their families for Thanksgiving. Some are stationed here to attend school, and others can't make the journey due to scheduling and financial reasons.
