Vice President Mike Pence and his wife, Karen, traveled to Iraq on Saturday for a surprise pre-Thanksgiving visit to US troops.
The second lady, toting a container of candied yams, and the veep, balancing a platter of roasted turkey, served lunch to 150 service members stationed at Al Asad Air Base in western Iraq.
“It’s Thanksgiving week in America and Karen and I couldn’t be more honored and privileged to come here and give you a little bit of a taste of home,” Pence said.
Pence had a private briefing with military officials and then made a phone call to Iraqi Prime Minister Adil Abdul-Mahdi.
