WASHINGTON — President Obama celebrated Thanksgiving quietly yesterday at the White House with his family, friends and some staffers after phoning 10 members of the armed forces in Afghanistan.
Obama, as has been his practice during previous holidays, reached out to thank Americans serving in the Army, Air Force, Marine Corps and Navy.
The White House meal included ham, oyster stuffing and macaroni and cheese, along with the traditional turkey, green beans and sweet potatoes. For dessert, there was an array of six pies.
