A U.S. SOLDIER serves food to a fellow soldier for the last Thanksgiving meal at Camp Victory Complex in Baghdad, Iraq, on Sunday, while others line up in the queue, below left. Thanksgiving dinner came a few days early since the dining facilities were scheduled to be shut down afterward. The U.S. has promised to withdraw from Iraq by the end of the year as required by a 2008 security agreement between Washington and Baghdad. Some 39,000 U.S. troops are scheduled to clear out along with their equipment.
