Beckham to spend Thanksgiving with US Army

WENN

David Beckham has apparently agreed to spend four days with the US Army over Thanksgiving.

The football star, who plays for LA Galaxy, has arranged to visit the American troops at their barracks in Germany with his teammates next week.

Responding to reports that Beckham has been criticised for visiting US troops instead of the British Army, Chairman of Action for Armed Forces Colonel Bob Stewart is quoted by the Daily Mail as saying: "Beckham plays for an American team and I expect he goes wherever they want him to go."

He added: "There are plenty of other people who can travel to support British troops instead of him. If he does want to visit them in the future that's fine. If not, someone else will."
