A Thanksgiving Day tradition here in the islands played out for the 41st time Thursday morning.
The Honolulu Boy Choir performed for the thousands who gathered for the Salvation Army Thanksgiving dinner.
Just before noon the traditional Thanksgiving turkey was marched onto the stage, where Mayor Peter Carlisle carved the first piece.
"Well it’s very gratifying to be able provide this service to people. You know a lot of people come to us that are hungry, who are homeless, and some people that are just lonely," said Maj. Edward Hill of the Salvation Army.
The Salvation Army was prepared to serve 2,000 meals on Thanksgiving day.
An army of 800 volunteers helped serve those meals and when you’re serving that many people you need to cook up about 900 pounds of turkey.
