This printed Thanksgiving Dinner menu, preserved among the papers of the McAleer family, offers a glimpse of holiday tradition within the wartime U.S. Navy. Listing an elaborate meal -- roast Oregon turkey, oyster dressing, pumpkin chiffon pie, and more -- under the command of Captain George Washington Steele, USN (Ret.), the card reflects the Navy's effort to maintain morale and a sense of home even while serving far from it. Such menus, often kept as souvenirs, are valued today as intimate records of daily military life beyond the battlefield. Project: 218163
