Vice President JD Vance will mark the start of Thanksgiving with a special visit to Fort Campbell, a sprawling military base in Kentucky and Tennessee. On Wednesday, Vance, a decorated Marine veteran, plans to spend time serving meals to thousands of active-duty soldiers who call Fort Campbell home.
As part of his visit, Vance is also expected to deliver remarks to the troops, providing an opportunity for him to personally connect with those serving their country. The vice president's appearance at the base highlights his commitment to supporting military personnel and their families.
This trip marks Vance's second recent stop in the Tennessee area, where he attended a Republican National Committee fundraiser last week outside of Maryville. In contrast, President Trump will be spending Thanksgiving at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida, where he typically holds court with a gathering of friends and high-profile guests.
Vance's visit to Fort Campbell underscores his connection to the nation's military personnel. His own experiences as a Marine veteran serve as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by those who put their lives on the line to protect America.

Serving meals to thousands of soldiers at Fort Campbell is no small feat 
, and it's awesome that he's taking time to connect with those serving their country face-to-face 
. As a veteran himself, I think his personal connection to the military is what makes this visit so meaningful 
. Meanwhile, President Trump is off at Mar-a-Lago, which just seems like a pretty different vibe from this kind of selfless service 
. Let's give it up for VP Vance and his commitment to supporting our troops and their families!

VP JD Vance is really showing that he cares about our troops and their families, you know? I mean, it's not every day we see a politician putting their money where their mouth is like this. He's literally rolling up his sleeves to serve meals and deliver some words of encouragement... talk about being a leader who gets it! 
. He's really putting his money where his mouth is, you know? As a veteran himself, he knows firsthand what these guys go through, and it's clear that he cares about their well-being and wants to make a difference in their lives 
.
. It's not every day you see politicians showing up at military bases to lend a helping hand (or fork) 
. I mean, sure, he's a decorated vet and all that jazz, but come on, Thanksgiving at Fort Campbell? That's just a quick fix to boost his image before the midterms 
. Meanwhile, President Trump is out living it up at Mar-a-Lago like he owns the place 
. I'd love to see him spend a day serving meals to actual soldiers instead of just rubbing shoulders with his buddies 
. It's all about perception, folks...
guess thats what happens when you've got a reputation like his 
anyway, more power to Vance for taking action 
! It's awesome to see him roll up his sleeves and get involved, you feel? I mean, can you imagine if Trump was spending the holiday at Mar-a-Lago while our soldiers are over there serving their country? No thanks, fam 
! I love that he's using his platform to connect with the troops and give back to the community. He's like, totally on point, you know?

. It's not just about grand gestures or photo ops – it's about being willing to roll up your sleeves and get involved when they can make a difference 
.
. Anyway, gotta respect Vance for doing something positive like this 
I mean, they're okay, but it's like they're trying too hard to be festive 
I'm not saying I don't appreciate the tradition or anything, but... I dunno, just seems kinda messed up to me 
They're like little flying robots! Anyway, where was I? Oh yeah, Thanksgiving. So, JD Vance visiting Fort Campbell is nice and all, but can we talk about how he's not gonna be eating any turkey or mashed potatoes at his own house this year? 
. PLUS, HE'S DOING IT INSTEAD OF HANGING OUT WITH FRIENDS AT MAR-A-LAGO LIKE PRESIDENT TRUMP 
, but seriously, this is what it's all about, right? JD Vance spending his Thanksgiving at Fort Campbell, doing something meaningful for the troops... I mean, sure, Trump's gonna be chillin' with his buddies at Mar-a-Lago, but that's just not the same, you know? 
they're just trying to enjoy thanksgiving with their families and have some good food, but instead vance is taking them away from it all to make a photo op 
i mean, don't get me wrong, it's great that he's making an effort to connect with the troops and all that, but can't we just give them a break this one time? 
I'm just saying, it's all good to support our troops and all... but shouldn't we be doing more for everyone in need?
