Troops In Iraq Get Beer & Pizza For The Super Bowl

Enjoy the Super Bowl guys, you deserve it!

It took three planes to get free beer to troops in Iraq in time for the Super Bowl.

U.S. troops in Iraq will be allowed to drink up to two 12-ounce beers apiece for the Super Bowl, after the U.S. commander in Iraq, Army Gen. Ray Odierno, issued a waiver of the U.S. military’s strict prohibition on alcohol imbibing in the war zone[...]

The joint effort was undertaken by Pizzas 4 Patriots, Malnati’s pizzeria, DHL and Louis Glunz Beer Inc., a Lincolnwood, Ill., beer distributor. DHL managed the delivery, including re-freezing the pizzas at points along the way to make sure they arrived fresh for the troops.

Hats off to above for making this happen.
