DHL Express to Deliver Pizzas to Servicemen in Afghanistan

Independence Day is all about patriotism, and no one is more patriotic than the men and women serving overseas for our country. As an effort to honor these men and women, DHL Express (Plantation, Fla.), Pizzas 4 Patriots (Cedar Knolls, N.J.) and UNO’s (Boston) teamed up to deliver thousands of pizzas to United States and Canadian soldiers for the upcoming U.S. and Canadian Independence Days.

Pizzas 4 Patriots organizers plan to load 6,000 deep-dish pizzas from UNO’s into a DHL cargo jet about a week before the holidays, which will then arrive at military bases in Afghanistan.

“We are happy to partner, once again, with Pizzas 4 Patriots and DHL in sending our troops a taste of home this Fourth of July,” Vietnam Veteran and UNO’s CEO Frank Guidara said. “Our troops have told us how much enjoyment it brings to receive a taste of home, and that is what this program is all about. It’s a way to show our appreciation for all they do.”

Pizza 4 Patriots and DHL Express organizers have shipped more than 60,000 pizzas to servicemen and women during the past three years. The idea began in 2008 with Ret. Master Sergeant Mark Evans and his son, Kent, who wanted to send frozen Chicago-style pizzas to soldiers overseas.

“As a retired member of the military, I know firsthand what this special care package will mean to our U.S. and Canadian service members serving in those faraway places,” Evans said. “We are so thankful to DHL Express for stepping up year after year and donating their services to deliver a slice of home to those men and women serving their countries.”
