ELK GROVE VILLAGE, Ill. (AP) - Retired Air Force Sgt. Mark Evans
wants to send a taste of Chicago to troops in Afghanistan and Iraq.
So he's doing it deep-dish pizza-style.
The suburban Chicago man has arranged for thousands of pizzas to
be frozen, packed in dry ice and shipped to the Middle East in time
for the Fourth of July.
His 16-year-old son, Kent, came up with the idea.
DHL Global will deliver the pizzas that Lou Malnati's Pizzeria
offered at a special rate. Evans hopes to get as many as 3,000 of
them to the troops with the "Pizzas 4 Patriots" program.
