The US military has thousands of troops stationed at hundreds of bases in dozens of countries around the world.
During the holiday season, service members at these outposts often look for ways to add some Christmas spirit.
When troops are deployed or stationed overseas during the holidays, they do everything they can to bring the Christmas spirit to their duty stations. Commands host special meals, decorate their bases, and conduct concerts or ceremonies to boost troop morale.
