U.S. Troops in Kuwait Celebrate Chanukah
On a warm and dry December day in southern Kuwait, close to 40 soldiers, sailors and marines training at Camp Arifjan gathered to celebrate Chanukah. They lit menorahs, engaged in dreidel-spinning contests, savored home-fried potato latkes and sufganiyot (jelly doughnuts), and discussed how the story of Chanukah relates to their lives and needs in the military.
