U.S. Army soldiers stationed at Forward Operating Base Fenty take part in the base’s USO Christmas Raffle the night of Dec. 25, 2013, competing for prizes like a bicycle, television, iPad, and others. Events like this provide a welcome respite for deployed service members and offer them a way to celebrate the holidays even though they’re away from their families. (U.S. Army Photo by Sgt.
