This episode of "Float Tapes" by Kit Badger is a Thanksgiving Day special, revisiting footage from a Marine Corps deployment in 2001. The creator, a former Sergeant and squad leader with Bravo Company 1/1, shares his experience during a planned Westpac deployment with the 15th MEU SOC. The deployment's original trajectory to Djibouti was altered by the events of September 11th. The creator had intended to document this six-month deployment with a Sony HandyCam, capturing approximately 19 hours of footage. However, the MiniDV tapes were misplaced for 18 years before being rediscovered. This episode specifically focuses on a moment aboard the USS Dubuque, having just returned from Pakistan, where the Marines are participating in a Thanksgiving Day dinner.
