KUWAIT - Cat Country Radio's Dana Cervantes has begun her long journey back home.

She's been in the middle east over the last week.... bringing 21-thousand Thanksgiving greetings, letters and cards to our troops stationed in Iraq and Kuwait.

Today, she spent the day with Pensacola's 146th Expeditionary Signal Battalion... At camp buehring in Kuwait.

She sent us some of her home videos of what she's seen.

Camp Buehring is just 15 miles from the Iraq border, and serves as the staging and training base for tens of thousands of Iraq-bound troops.

It's also the Army's permanent aviation base camp for apache, black hawk and chinook helicopters supporting Operation Iraqi Freedom.

The base has a fully-stocked exchange, an internet café, recreational facilities, a Burger King... Even a 24-hour pizza place.

Its chow hall is capable of serving several thousand troops at every meal.

Dana showed off some of the sleeping arrangements...

And having brought thousands of cards and letters to the troops from back home... Some of the troops returned the favor.... sending holiday greetings to Northwest Florida
