British soccer star David Beckham is set to spend his Thanksgiving with the U.S. troops. The Los Angeles Galaxy player and his teammates are to undertake a four-day visit to Kaiserslautern, South West Germany to show support for the army in Afghanistan.
Beckham will stay in army barracks, where he and the sports team will meet troops and their families and visit injured soldiers at the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center.
Then on Thanksgiving Day, November 26, they will play against Kaiserlautern FC. Around 25,000 tickets have been made available to the troops, the Defense Department staff, and their families.
Though American fans are delighted with his support, there are some who criticized him for visiting the U.S. troops instead of the British soldiers.
