On the other side of the world, cooks in Iraq are preparing a feast for American soldiers.

The work has been going on for several days because they are feeding thousands of troops. It's all about making them feel a part of an American tradition.

"It's pretty much for morale," says Rosemary Tamba who works in food service for the military. "Back home, you have your sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, your turkeys, so we pretty much try in indeed, to have the same kind of meals that you have back home just to give you a little taste of what you're missing."

The chefs are preparing the turkey in three different ways with all the fixings.

"We are making cheesecake, and then lots of pies will be there, pumpkin pie, pecan pie, sweet potato pie," says Executive Chef Amit Sharma.
