I heard an interview with this guy on Johnny B the other day.

He got into contact with General petraeus and they’ve managed to coordinate an amazing thing; they’re getting some infamous deep dish Lou Malnati’s pizzas to the troops for their 4th of July bash in Iraq and Afghanistan.

DHL is donating their services for free. The idea has mushroomed. No. It’s EXPLODED from the idea of sending over 300 pizzas, to sending over 3,000.

Anyone interested in contributing to the “Pizzas 4 Patriots” project can write Mark Evans at sgtevans@sbcglobal.net…or just send some money to that email address through paypal.

See video here.

Check out some articles on it.

Elk Grove Village man sending pizzas to troops

In addition to the care packages for our troops from Move America Forward and yesterday’s “From the Frontlines” broadcast, I think we’ve got some great things cookin’ for our men and women serving in uniform to let them know that we REALLY DO LOVE THEM and SUPPORT THEM.

Update: Pizzas 4 Patriots - they have a website set up now. 6/28/2008 09:16 CST
