Pizzas 4 Patriots: 10,000 Chicago-style pizzas headed to troops for Super Bowl Sunday

A taste of Chicago is coming to our troops on Super Bowl Sunday.

From a DHL press release:

Pizzas 4 Patriots and DHL Express Deliver a Taste of Hometown Tradition to U.S. Troops in Time for NFL Championship

10,000 Chicago Deep-Dish Pizzas will be sent to Soldiers Overseas for Super Bowl Sunday.

Pizzas 4 Patriots is teaming up with the world's leading international express shipping provider, DHL Express, to quarterback the special delivery of 10,000 pizzas to U.S. servicemen and servicewomen on Super Bowl Sunday – America’s biggest day of the year for eating pizza.

With DHL Express donating the services of its global express shipping network to the non-profit organization, Pizzas 4 Patriots will be able to send enough deep dish pizza to feed every soldier stationed in Afghanistan, Kuwait and Oman.

That presser came out last week, since then, Illinois' inept governor, Chicago Democrat Pat Quinn, has inserted himself into this story. While he has been a strong supporter of our troops, I don't believe the unpopular governor did anything to assist Pizzas 4 Patriots, other than pledge himself to loading pizzas onto a DHL truck.
