Soldiers were grumbling about having to sit through another 
dog-and-pony show, 
As he passed and posed 
-- just a photo opportunity  --
only for the obvious.
The mess hall actually
erupted:
Secret service guys showed up
fully decorated for Thanksgiving, tasked
with filling a few tables.  Naturally
It was the most surreal moment
I took the opportunity to shake
I didn't really care about getting a picture 
so I went back over to my seat.
