I would like to thank the staff and everyone that donated the pizzas to Afghanistan for the Super Bowl. I did not have a slice, but i am one of the key players that helped push the pizzas to the Soldiers in the austere locations. I am still working on some pics, but rest assure, they really enjoyed them. Once again, thank you.

Thank you so much for your bravery and service. You and your families are in our prayers every day. We know how hard it is to be away from your country and family. Stay safe and know that America is behind each and every soldier.

I was SO glad to hear of this program. I am a big football fan, and who doesn't love pizza? You guys give so much to your country. Know that there are many, many people back home praying for your safety and waiting to welcome you when you return. God bless all of you!

In honor of my father, James B Cassidy, who was a WWII veteran and only told stories about food but who in actuality helped free Dachau Concentration Camp, may this help to bring a food story to a current soldier to share with his or her children. please keep safe!

Thank you for this. Words are not enough, I will support you as best I can.

Thanks to all the men and women from us, a special to Ryan be safe we love you, retired USAF family

Thank you for everything you have done for us.

You are the greatest people ever. Thanks for everything.

Thank you for your service and your sacrifice. You are loved and appreciated. From a proud mom of a 2/1 Marine serving in Afghanistan.

Thank you all for what you do to preserve freedom in the U.S. and combat injustice around the globe! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

It's absolutely wonderful and thoughtful for you to be doing this for our troops overseas in Harms Way. They will be able to receive a "Taste from Home" and they will also realize the support you give them.

They all deserve our thanks for serving for all of us.

Thanks again.

We appreciate all the sacrifices that our troops make everyday for our country. We are very proud of all of you. Hope this pizza goes a long way in letting you know you are not forgotten. We hope you enjoy the big game! May God bless you all!

I have a husband and son both serving in the US Army. Neither one has done a tour yet, but I thank each and every one for what they are doing for our country. Pizza for patriots is a great way to show our support back on the home front and pray for all their safe returns home. We currently have several friends doing their tours now. We pray for each of you every day and look forward to your return home. To all the men and women, enjoy your pizzas and know we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. God speed and Stay safe! HOOAH!

Please take the necessary precautions in your dangerous work. Think smart and take out the enemy as the job requires. In the final analysis, you folks are our eyes, ears and "trigger" fingers in a dangerous part of the world.

Thank you for serving and protecting our Country.

A Vietnam Veteran

We Americans tend to take our blessings for granted but we do not take our men and women serving in the military for granted. God Bless Each and Every One of You...for what you do and for who you are! Thank you for your service, your sacrifices and your love of God, country and family. Take care and know we care.

Good luck with your Super Bowl party this year Pizzas!!

I get so sick of the chow hall food because it's always the same. I come from NJ so I crave good pizza. The ones they have in the chow hall just don't cut it. One night when I was going to chow I noticed a whole bunch of pizzas. I decided to try one. It was so good. I talked about it the whole next day hoping they would have more. I lucked out to get another piece for lunch. I want to thank everyone who donated. I never even knew there was such a thing as pizza4patriots.com

I just wanted to convey a huge "Thank You" for the pizza. It was such a nice surprize to come across it in the chow hall. I was stationed in Chi-town before I came here, there's nothing better than a taste of home.
Thanks again!

Thanks so much for all you do to keep us all safe...go to fhu.com or patriotoutreach.com when you get stressed. Hope you enjoy a taste of home and Happy 4th of July! Semper fi!

No matter how it is said, it can't be said enough...thank you for protecting our desire toward Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness!

Thank you very much for all your efforts. As the father of a soldier in Afghanistan I know how much he would appreciate a piece of pizza. God Bless You and God Bless America!

Just wanted to say "Thanks" for all you do for us so that we have our freedom at home to enjoy.

Thank you all for your tremendous sacrifice to keep the world free. I hope you all know just how much we are praying for your safe return to this wonderful country.

I thank all the military men and women for their service. My donation was made in memory of my friend's grandson, Sgt. Blaine Redding who lost his life on June 7, 2010. God bless you all.

Thank you for the MOST DELICIOUs pizza!!! I was so suprised to see PIZZA at the chow hall!!!

BAGRAM, AFGHANISTAN.

THANK YOU a million times for some great pizza. It is times like this that you all make this worthwhile. Once again thank you for the great slice of pizza..

26JUN2010: I just had some of your pizza in the chow hall at bagram Air Field. THANK YOU. I appreciate what your oganization is doing for the troops. I read an earlier post about getting these pizzas out to the (FOB's) Forward Operating Bases and (COP's)Combat OutPosts. I can only imagine what it would mean to the Soldiers living at the FOB's and COP's in Afghanistan, to have pizza that is homemade. Again I wanted to thank you for your gratefullness.

TSgt Richard Schonegg, USAF Reserves.

Very good site!

To True Heroes: Thank you to all the soldiers who protect and defend our great country!

Please send some to FOB Lightning Afghanistan. They are somewhat in a remote area with no PX or any extras. I just came from there and it is lacking in most there. BAF and KAF have full services as well as Camp Phoenix. The FOBs are needing the support

Cool site, thx for your work!

Just to let you know a check is in the mail for pizzas for our dear heroes. Please keep me on your contact list. I will donate as often as I can.
God bless you for what you are doing for our troops. We can never do enough.
Do you need donations for other things?

Thank you all for the service you provide to our country.

Please let me know how i can get involved. I can deliver to the Veteran/s Home in Marshalltown, Iowa

Thanks you for all you/ve done!!

Very cool site. Keep up the great work!

Thank you so much to the brave men and women of our armed forces. Especially those from Fort Drum, 1-87th Infantry Charlie Co serving in Afghanistan where our son is. God protect you and Bless you all.
Thanks to P4P for this awesome mission.

We want to thank you brave soldiers for keeping us safe. You are in our prayers always. God Bless you for all you do for us. Be safe!

Thank you Pizzas4Patriots for giving our soldiers a taste of home.

Thank to you all the troops for keeping us safe- you are amazing!!!!Be Safe and God Bless you all!
Thank you to Pizzas 4 Patriots for organizing such an amazing project!

I met Master Sgt. Mark Evans today and learned of this fantastic service. Great idea! Thanks so much for your service to our country and for helping to take care of those serving!

To all of the fine men and women serving in America's armed forces,

Thank you and your families for your service and sacrifices. God bless you all and enjoy your pizza.

Bob and Sharon

I am hoping you all enjoy this small taste of home. Thank You for all you do for us..

We can only imagine where we would be if not for the Heroic Efforts you Brave Men and Women Execute on a Daily basis and in such a Humble Manner. Let me just say it is " Us " who are Humbled by your Heroic Deeds... Thank You so Very Very Much you Guys.....

God bless all of you - true American heroes.

Enjoy the pizza and thanks for all you do! Geaux Saints!!!!!

My humble way of helping to say thanks to the best military in the world. Have a great party
.

Thank you so much for everything you do. I wake up and go to bed everyday enjoying the freedoms you help to defend and protect. For this, words cannot express my gratitude. I hope this small token of our appreciation can help you forget where you are, for just a moment, and enjoy some pleasures from home.

God bless you and keep you safe. I pray for your safe return to your friends and family.

We pray for the safety of all soldiers around the world each night. We are grateful to all those like Pizza for Patriots who make life a little easier for the brave men and women who serve our country. Enjoy the party!

We saw this on Fox and Friends this morning also and thought what a great idea! Hope more folks hook on. Thank you to all our service men and women out there, God bless you and take care of you and keep you safe
 

Thank you for your service! You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Thank you for all your service means to those of us back home. We are proud of each of you and my family prays for your safety and speedy return home. God Bless each and everyone.

Troops: Know this, that there are thousands of people that thank you for your service and sacrifice. Have a great super bowl-and stay safe.Jim/Jeanna Newcomb

Just saw Mark on Fox & Friends and reminded me of how excited my son was last year at this time when he ate one of your pizzas while stationed in Iraq. He was so appreciative and as a Mom I am so thankful people are still remembering them. THANK YOU!

Thanks so much for a great way to support the troops! I am a Sgt. In the National Guard, I returned home from Iraq Jan 17th 2010. I will again deploy to Afghanistan after being home a short time. It is really encouraging to those of us in uniform to know that there are Americans willing to show their support in a tangible. I believe that often the service and sacrifice gets lost in the political and media debates. It is efforts like yours that mean so much to us at home and oversea. THANK YOU PIZZA 4 PATRIOTS!

What a great project!
I am an Air Force mom, Army Calvary sister, and navy aunt with one in Afghanistan, one in Iraq, and one in Haiti.
Thanks so much for taking a little bit of the U.S. to those who are working so diligently for all of us!!!
You have my support!

What a wonderful idea! Thanks so much for showing your appreciation to the men & women of our military. They deserve any bit of comfort we can offer them. GOD Bless the troops & GOD Bless the USA!

Thank-You for serving our Troops, My son is stationed at F.O.B. Warhorse- Baquba, Iraq. Every bit of home they receive brings them one step closer to home. God Bless you All.

I just happened to see the segment this morning on Fox News while flipping through channels on the midnight shift. I made a donation within five minutes. This is a great idea and as a native Chicagoan I'm happy to see an idea like this take off.

Thank you so much for your service. God Bless.

Thankyou for your service. God bless & protect each and everyone of you.

As an Army veteran, I think this is a wonderful idea. I was stationed overseas for many years and one of things I missed the most was the food. I am a Lou Malnati's fan, but you have just convinced me to switch my allegiance to Gino’s East. I hope everyone supports those companies that support America and our troops. God Bless you and I look forward to my next Gino’s East pizza.

Mark,
Thank you once again for supporting our troops. With Pizza4patriots all Americans can show their support by making a donation. We all love pizza.
I know our troops will be greatfull to you, DHL,Un0's, Coors and AT&T and everyone who donated. They will have a SUPER SSUPERBOWL.
Thanks again for all your hard work in continuing to support our troops. Also thank you Master Sargent Evans for your time in the Military and Reserves.
Besides a donation, what can I do to help your organization? please respond
We love you.
Patty (Hassler)Schulz

My Dad was career military, my younger brother is career military, hoping for his full "bird" rank next year. My nephew served as a Marine for 6 years. Our family loves and supports our military troops, keeping us safe and fighting for freedom. This is a great idea/cause.

Go U.S.A. !!!!!!

Thank you so very much you dnt know how much this means to our troops. My brother is currently serving over there on his secoond tour. GOD BLESS YOU ALL

God bless you. This is great way to show our support and thanks to every brave hero.

 

Good job...I wish someone thought about us during the Vietnam era....

I heard about you on the Loop radio last week in Chicago. My son is in the Marines and will leave Dec 1 for Afganistan and this type of help is great and i am donating now. Keep up the good work.

I finally got your business card out & looked at your web site. It is very amazing and seeing all the pictures made it more real. It was well beyond words what you have done and appreciated. You made the flight from Boston to Chicago interesting and seem to fly. Thanks for all your help with our bags and what you do for the troops.
zzzzzlids

I was shown this site by a co-worker and I had to donate immediately!

Our military people need a "slice of home" and this really was an awesome thing to do for them.

Thank you doesn't cover what I feel for what they do but I hope this helps!

I am a proud Army mom as well!!!

Keep safe and God bless all of our military families.

M/Sgt, Evans and family, Unos, Miller/Coors, DHL and everyone else involve,
As a military mother I can't begin to thank you for P4P and the shipment which I monitored closely. My daughter Rebecca and I had the priveledge of supporting P4P along with the Hilton Hotels in Chicago while we were in the city thru the Hilton fundraisers held in June. We look forward to futher support in the P4P program supporting our troops overseas and our vets here in the states. Again, thank you with both tears in my eyes and smiles in my heart.
Wendy Hoffman, proud Marine and Virginia National Guard Mom

To the Evans family,

For all that you do…the personal sacrifices that you have made as a family, the endless hours and hard work that you have selflessly given for your love of others, thank you! Who would have ever guessed that Kent’s idea on a father and son pizza night in your living room would have led all of us to this place a short year later…from 2000 pizzas for 4 July 2008, then 2000 more pizzas for the Super Bowl to the 28,000 original Uno’s deep-dish pizzas. Those pizzas allowed nearly 80,000 US service men and women at six+ bases in Iraq and three bases in Afghanistan an opportunity to enjoy a taste of home unique to America. It might seem a small thing…pizzas. Yet consider the donations sent in by children running lemonade stands, the families of those lost in conflict and the many loved ones yearning for a holiday with their personal heroes. This taste of home provided an opportunity for people at home to make a tangible investment in the lives of those few who sacrifice for the good of many. To the troops serving OCONUS…We care, we miss you and we all appreciate the difficulties and hardships that you endure to allow us the freedoms that we enjoy as Americans!

Your friend,
Ethan

I made a quick comment yest and also made a personal judgement on a few people about the pizza for patriots. Please for those who know what i am talking about i am truly sorry and it was in no means my husbands input or feelings on it. I AM VERY SORRY. My comments was not against those who serve there country as i truly have a heart and wouldnt stoop that low. Godbless and thankyou

I'm still thinking about the Pizza I had on the 4th.

Thanks for your efforts. I feel like America still remembers its troops.

Thanks again

Thank you very much for the pizza. It was wonderful to have a little slice of home.

Thank you...I was one of the lucky ones to try some of the deep dish Chicago pizza. We greatly appreciate it, it made out day. It is nice to know there are people that care.

I think that it is great what the people are doing for the american army and a great memory for all. I would also like to mention all those out there that help the loved ones keep in touch with there army family and help this event take place. That is DHL who puts all there efforts to make it a special time for them all, just a pity those who eat these pizzas and whom in charge dont consider offering a slice of pizza to those in DHL, MY HUSBAND WAS TOLD NO!. Well i say no more those who really need to think how they get there supplies and parcels, DHL. They to do a incredible job. Godbless to all

Thanks to all the supporters for doing this for our service members over there, and a BIG thank you to all our countries heroes, both away and those keeping the fires burning at home.
And a HUGE I LOVE YOU to *my* hero in Iraq, SPC Vaughn! Come home soon!
PROUD Army Wife, Kris Vaughn

From the 100 AT&T Virginia Relay Center employees, THANK YOU for remembering our friends and families in the Armed forces.

Greetings from Penn State! Please know that we are thinking about each and every one of you and remembering you and your loved ones in our prayers. May God keep you safe. Thank you for your service! Thank you for our FREEDOM!

Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart to both those serving in the military as well as for those coordinating, delivering and donating to this great cause. This country is great because of you.

Thank you to all who donate to this effort to make our soldiers feel closer to home, during deployments. Also, thank you to our brave soldiers who are spending months away from their families to serve our country and fight for our freedom.

From a small group of us here in Atlanta. Thank you all for your courage, dedication, and sacrifice. We salute you and all that you have done. We pray for your return home, physically safe and mentally sound.

Here's a little more (and hopefully not too late) to ensure our brave soldiers get a slice of home on the 4th for the freedom they are protecting and perpetuating!

Thank you does not say it all... every person serving our country has our heartfelt appreciation and humble respect! Happy Independence Day!!!

A huge thank you to all our troops - past, present, and future - at home, and abroad. May you all be safe and always know that you are loved & prayed for!!!

Wejust sent a donation in via pay pal in honor of our nephew who served in Iraq twice as a member of the air force.This is in honor of Aaron's birthday

Thanks to all you men and women in all branches of the military. You stand for freedom everything we believe in. We appreciate all of those sacrifices you are making. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I am donating in memory of my husband, Douglas, who was a Vietnam Vet. Thank you to all of the men and women who make the sacrifice of service to their country. You are truly patriots.

I think this is a wonderful (!!) organzation. My father and grandparents were both in the military, my father is right now, and he has actually taken place in this before, I'm going to donate a hefty amount of money! :)

I am donating in honor of my father for father's day!! Thank you!!!

Thank you!

Thank you for all you are doing.

Thank you for your service and sacrifice! Enjoy the best pizza Chi-town has to offer. Bless you and be safe
 

There just aren't words to thank you all for your many sacrifices....Enjoy the pizza and know that you are thought of on this July 4th with love! God Bless and hope you are all home safely very soon.

We can't tell you how happy we are to have this opportunity to in some way to say Thank You to all our troops in some small way. We are sending this in honor of my father for Father's Day. We wanted to remember dads, who like him, had to spend many days, weeks and months away from those they love to protect us. THANK YOU!

I can not find the words to express my gratitude to all of you for the sacrifice you are making to keep me, my family, our country and the world safer. If, through email I can help anyone of you guys, please let me know.

Thank You Bless You
May God Be With You, Jan

Everyday there is something happening in the world that reminds me how lucky I am to live in the United States. What I sometimes take for granted is the price that has been paid by many who came before, and now by you, for the freedom and comfort of life here. We are indebted to you. Hope the pizza reminds you of all of the wonderful things waiting for you at home! Come safely home.

We are so proud and thankful for each and every one of you! We love you each and every day and especially on the 4th! God Bless you!!

My fiance just returned home, and I remember the moment he took a bite of his favorite pizza. You guys do so much for us and no matter what you read online or see on tv, there are many supporters over here that appreciate EVERYTHING you do. Keep your head down and continue the good work!

I know how much I love it when the pizza delivery guy shows up at my door and hope you all enjoy that same thrill. Thank you SO MUCH for all that you do over there. Know that you are in my heart always and I pray for your safe return so you can enjoy pizza at home with your family and friends! Love you!

"THANK YOU" can never adequately express my gratitude for what you have done and continue to do for our country! We pray for you daily, and we pray for your speedy, safe, successful return ASAP! God will bless you richly!

To all of the BRAVE Men and Women who protects this Great Country of Ours.
God Bless You and You’re Families.

We all know someone who's life has changed as a direct result of the efforts of the brave souls who serve our country, because we all have. I am proud to do something that may make a difference in the lives of our troops. Thank you for everything!

My daughter just returned from Afghanistan - these kinds of efforts and show of support by folks back home meant a lot to her and her fellow troops. Thanks to all who continue to let our troops know we have not forgotten them.

God bless you for your sacrifices. Enjoy the grub and we are all thinking of you.

Bare and Nat

Any of the pizzas going to the Canucks in Khandahar? Let me know how and I'll kick in a few bucks and light up my emails so we can buy abunch more.

I made a donation in honor of my father and husband for Father's Day. Enjoy guys and gals...I hope this brings you a little slice of home. We owe you more than you will ever know. Thank you, God bless you and be safe.
Debra Sprague

Thanks for thinking about us. The excitment is building. We look forward to some UNOs pizza in this hot dusty place we call home on our nation's independence day.

What a wonderful way to thank our brave military men and women!

To all the troops--we love and appreciate you and everything that you do! Happy 4th!

This is so wonderful. God bless everyone involved with this. Troops, we love you! Shine on!

I was so happy to hear about this effort to show our troops how much we appreciate them. Please know we have not forgotten you and are grateful for all the sacrifices you make every day!

God Bless you and yours for doing such a great service to our men in harms way. I hope we can all remember them every day for the sacrifices they make for us. We take it for granted most of the time, but you have helped to remind us.
But especially God Bless and Protect Them.
JJ & PJ

Thank you for your thoughtfulness. I am honored to be a part of this act of gratitude. I thank the men and women in the military, it is because of your dedication that I will be able to celebrate the 4th of July,which represents so much more than just cookouts and fireworks. I also like to thank the families and friends of the soldiers for I know that you too are making a grat sacrifice.My father proudly
served in the Army for 25yrs., serving tours in Vietnam. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers everyday.THANK YOU!! Keep the faith and God bless

It pleases me to be able to donate a few dollars to give those preserving our freedom overseas a little bit of home on Independence Day.

You guys and gals keep your heads down and come home safe.

You are appreciated.

THIS WOULD BE MY MOST MEMORABLE 4TH OF JULY. A BEER AND PIZZA WOULD DEF. MAKE ME FEEL WARM AND FUZZY INSIDE..HAHA. keep up the good work. its greatly appreciated!!!!

What a concept! There's no better way to put it but in 'Isaiah 11:6...and a little child will lead them'. It is so easy to forget our service men & women in our day-to-day lives. Thanks for their daily sacrifice!! Thanks to Pizzas4Patriots for acting on such a great idea!

Thank you for all your kindness. Although they do have pizza hut to buy and pizza in the chow hall in Iraq, nothing beats pizza from the states. Almost every base also has a cinnabon, KFC, taco bell, subway, and burger king. I recently came back from Iraq in March and a little love from the states always raises moral.

It's funny this is my husbands 3rd deployent currently, and our 5yr old has wondered if daddy could order pizza. We watched Fox News and heard about this. Now daddy and all the rest of our wonderful military troops can "order" pizza. :-) Thank you for your support in some of the strongest men and women of our country... lots of love ~*Till they all come home*~

Taylor Family :-)

To Our Troops...GOD BLESS YOU ALL! Thank you for all that you do and have done. Please come home safely.

To UNO: THANK YOU for this wonderful effort and GOD BLESS YOU, TOO : )

You have made me proud and a new member of my family just joined the army two days ago. Thank you for watching over this great country of ours. I love each and every one of you.
Thank you, everyone of you!

Just a small token to thank you all for your service. Our family respects you all, and everything you do for our very loved country.

Thank You to all our troops!!! Because you stand up and risk your lives to protect our freedom. I am proud to be an American. Love you all. God Bless and
Protect You !!!

I just made my donation. I love UNO's - I can't think of a better way to send a "thank you" to all of those that serve. We love you, we respect and value your service. Thank you for your service to our great country. I wish I could have a beer and some UNO's with you all.

Thanks for everything!! ENJOY YOUR PIZZA!!It was not much but it was all we could do!! THANKS AGAIN!! no thanks will ever be enough for everything you do!! =)

Gen. Cody in-laws send greetings to troops!!! Enjoy; Two nephews frequent "visitors" in your theatre! God Bless!

Thank you to all the men and women serving our country! You are in my prayers everyday. I am so proud of my husband who is serving his second tour. You are my hero honey! God bless all of you!!!

My dad and I just wanted to say we think this is a great thing that everyone is doing. We wish there was more that we could do. This is a great way to show how much we care for the men and women fighting for our freedom.
Thanks Again!!!

Thank you to all of the men & women who are serving our country. My prayers are with each & everyone of you! May the Lord bring you back to your families safely & expediently.

May the Good Lord watch over you, keep you and bring you each home safely. THANK YOU to all the men and women in all the branches of our armed services serving abroad and at home. Together, we will always make a difference. ttfn. xox

God Bless our Troops - they deserve so much more but this is certainly a great way to begin!

I have a special place in my heart for all the men and women that serve in our armed forces. My son-in-law has served three times in Iraq, and expressed a willingness to go back. My nephew was killed by an IUD in Iraq. We should never forget all the wounded that have served in Iraq and Afghanistan and are recovering. I thank you and I am so proud of you all. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

My daughter,TechSgt/Air Force, has just returned from her second deployment in Iraq. I am so happy to be able to help make another person's child happy for a few minutes with some pizza and beer to help let them know how proud we are of each and every one of them.

Thank you for this project and the opportunity - but most of all a huge THANK YOU to our service men and women and may God's blessing and protection be with them.

As the mother of a deployed Soldier and the Coordinator for Manatee's Operation Troop Support in Florida, I am proud to offer my donation to your cause. I hope someday EVERY Troop is able to receive this very thoughtful gift. With each persons donation you are that much closer. Thank you to everyone that has supported our Troops in big and small ways, it means more to them than they will ever be able to express.

I heard about this effort on the radio this morning. I sent the website to our church members, some who are in the military. Thanks for all you do to protect our country! We are proud of you!

I hope that my donation helps you reach the goal you are reaching for. Every service man/women are lucky to have your generosity! I have a friend who is in Iraq and I'm sure he will love the pizza and beer.

as man who was in the marines i understand the sacrifice all our military people give everyday. i want to thank them from the bottom of my heart. these men and women are our sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, husbands, wives, cousins, and friends. i have had family and friends over there and i realy appreciate the situation these men and woman put themselves in every day they are there. so i say thank you and we love you all. god speed and keep your head down and come home safe.

This is such an awesome project and I'm so happy to say I learned about it from listening to K99 FM, Big D and Bubba in the mornings! I've made my donation and this meager amount could never equal to the appreciation I have to the members of the military and their families who sacrifice daily for me and my loved ones. GOD BLESS YOU ALL!

There aren't enough words to express how grateful I am for what you are all doing for me, my family and my country. You are in my prayers every day and this 4th of July you will be the guests of honor in whatever we do, whevever you are.

God Bless.

I just donated. If I helped give one serviceman/woman the feeling of being home for five minutes, it's worth it. Thanks for everything.

I feel there is so little we can do back here to let all of you know how much we respect and support what you are all doing for us so that we can enjoy all the blessings of this country that we take so for granted everyday. Please know I pray for you all every day. God bless all of you and God bless the USA.

Thanks to all the soldiers for doing what you do so that me and my family can be free! GOD BLESS THE USA!!!

I would like to thank you for what you are doing for us, I have already had two sons in Iraq, one did two tours and the other did one tour. I know what your families are going thru. But we are PROUD OF ALL OF OUR BOYS!!!!!

Saw you on Fox News this morning. What a great way to help out the troops and celebrate the 4th of July. Thanks for all the work you and your family are doing to make this happen.

Thanks for a great idea, supporting our GREAT group of men and women serving in the military for us!

I want to say thanks to all of you who make these things happen for soldiers. I have spent more holidays and special days away from home than not in 20 years. Super Bowl Sunday, I wondered into a dining facility in Baghdad, had two beers and REAL Pizza! I can not adiquately state how much of a boost this was to me personnaly. People say thanks in airports, etc, but they never buy me a drink or offer me a slice of pizza...

You go LOU! As a Chicagoan I have my pizza's flown to Vegas! I cried when I saw Sgt. Evans on Fox News for the Super Bowl run! God Bless our and love to all our "children" all over the world! They make their momma's proud!!!

THANKS TO LOUIS GLUNZ BEER INC. FOR DONATING ALL THAT BEER FOR THE TROOPS.

A simple thanks from all the troops supporting the 328th CSH, 18th Airborne Corps, and MNC-I. Your contribution brought smiles and made our day.

Lets expand this service and get this pizza to all the troops =) Spanish Pizza stinks!

THANK YOU very much for the absolutely delicious pizzas and your patriotic support! I woke up at 0200 to enjoy some of the wonderful pizza and watch Super Bowl 43. You don't know how much it means to us out here to know there are people at home thinking about us.
Sincerest thanks from 'The Sandbox'

Thank you, Thank you, for what all of you are doing for our sons and daughters, husbands, brothers and sisters, aunts, uncles, etc. May this sacrafice of giving be given back to you a hundred fold. We are proud parents of a son in Iraq and he truly is a grateful man for the littlest of things sent to him as I am sure all are grateful to you and all who are donating to make this event happen!!!!

I just heard the other day that I would be privileged with a beer and a few slices of pizza from this great program during the Super Bowl. I've been away from home half a year already and it's my first time overseas, so I wanted to express my thanks to everyone involved, it really means a lot to me and all the troops serving in combat zones.

Mr. Evans Thank you from the bottom of my heart. It made me recall a story my dad told me while serving this great country during WW11 he was drafted 2- months prior to dec 7th , and sent to the pacific , he was in the gilbert isl. invasion after they had taken the island they found chickens roaming around that the japanise "used to own". they penned them up and where feeding them rice from the bombed out rice storage (after cooking it ) when things had calmed down a bit they cooked 24 chickens and had enough for a half chicken and 2- beers each.it was a great break ,because at night they where still having air raids.. this is very condensed but the general idea ,of how much it can mean to our great men & women! Thanks again Luke Brittan

To my son currently serving in Iraq along with all the other men and woman we thank you for your sacrifice and honor of this great America. I will always hold a special place in my heart to this organization and all those who help with donations or their time, we are eternally grateful. God Bless.

As a Desert Storm veteran, when I hear of things like this, it overwhelms me. While watching a video interview with MSgt Evans, I too teared up about the same time he did. I Salute you MSgt Evans for making this happen and I thank everyone out there thats supports this program and every other donation like this.

God Bless our soldiers and their families for continually providing the citizens of America with freedom, although they often go unrecognized and with little support at home. If I had control of the stimulus package, I would give our soldiers and their families a raise and monthly bonuses in salary that equals the job they do so unselfishly to ensure our freedom. I cried when I heard what you were doing on Fox News and just had to be a part or rather a member of your team. Reta

Besides donating, I am going to put your banner on our property website for The Waterfront at Puuloa. We have many military families living here and I hope it helps!

My hero son is on his second tour in Iraq. We miss every minute that he is not with us. Taking time in your busy life to honor and think of these true American Soldiers, I personally thank you. Gods Speed!!!!

My 5th Grade class thanks our soldiers for fighting to
keep America free! My grandfather is a Navy and Marine Veteran and just gave
a prayer at the USS Green Bay Commissioning in California last weekend! Our
whole family is grateful for
your service to our country! I am thankful to
my classmates at Our Lady of Lourdes for helping
raise money to support Master Mark Evans mission on
donating pizzas! Lauren Mc Lester - Davis. 5th grader.

THANK YOU! My only wish is that there were more people out there like you. As a military spouse it chokes me up to see people who really care about our men and women in uniform. I am only sorry I just heard about this program today - but I am definitely going to keep updated to help with future plans! You are doing a great and wonderful thing - Thank you and yours.

Thanks for doing such a great job, I wish more Americans would show their thanks to our troops. We will be making a donations for your 4th of July Program.
I own a ticket company
www.ticketcyclone.com and we offer every active duty member and vets to a
discount on tickets. It is 5% off, members just need to use the code " US

My brother is serving over in Iraq right now. We were just talking to him the other day and he was just saying how he is craving pizza. Thank you for your support of my brother and all of our troops!! We will support and order from Papa John's from now on. Thank you! The pizza is great but more importantly, your support of my brother and our troops, means a lot to my family and especially to the brave people we have in our military. God bless you and your company! Sincerely,
Marie

What an awesome thing to do for our Troops~ God bless you!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you to all the men and women willing to defend our freedom ~ what would we do without you? !!! Praying for safety for you always ~ come home soon!

I saw Msgt. Mark Evans on Fox News this morning and can't think of a better way to donate money. He talked about 2,000 pizzas shipped for the Superbowl...because of these great men and women protecting our country I will be fortunate to watch the Big Game with my friends. The least I can do is send them some pizza for a special occasion!

Also, thank you to every volunteer involved - from cleaning the dishes to transporting the pizzas. This is a great idea!

God Bless America!

GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS EVERYWHERE..YOU GUYS DESERVE SO MUCH MORE..

Saw you on Fox and Friends. What a great way to show our men and women our support for their dedication.

Mr. Evans, et al:
I saw your story on Fox News today. Thank you for what you are doing for our troops. What a wonderful, homey gift you are giving to them. As Bill O'Reilly would say, "YOu are a true patriot!"

Thank You!

son&2grandsons 267th mp co god bless all of you stay safe

thanks to all of the troops for what you are doing to enable us to have freedom, god bless all of you. great job!

Just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU for what you are doing. My husband is not in the service but working in Iraq. He is at an airforce base and he tells me all the time of the courage of our sons and daughters and how they sacrifice their lives, freedom and how proud they are to serve. I appreciate all that anyone does to make life a little more like home and wish that more Americans were willing to help. Again thank you and GOD BLESS OUR TROOOPS AND YOU AND YOUR EFFORTS.

Thank you so much for what your wonderful organization has been doing! Thanks for making our troops feel appreciated and thanked. God bless everyone that has been helping and the all the troops serving their country :)

Thank you for everything you do for this country through your unselfish voluntering to protect the citisens of this great country. God Bless you one and all.

Are you planning to do a pizza delivery for Christmas? If so, my family would be interested in donation in memory of our recently deceased brother-in-law. Please let me know as soon as possible.

Mark: There are very few people in this world that have taken on such a tremendous quest, for your fellow man. Your dedication and compassion is one to be envied. I WILL make this pledge to you...I will do all in my power to help you succeed in this goal that you and your family have undertaken. I know the feeling when a loved is gone for months at a time. My son Christopher is serving somewhere in Iraq, again. This is his 7th time to be recalled. I already lost one son...may God bring Chris back home soon.

I love pizza, I love the US, I love your courage as a U.S. Troop. Thank you!
 

I am currently stationed in Baghdad, Iraq. I was here when over the 4th of July when you guys sent us PIZZA! It was INCREDIBLE! It was so great to get a taste of home! Thank you so very much! I will never forget it!

My husband is an Army Chaplain and has had two deployments. We are from IL and love Lou's! Great idea and thank you for your support for our soldiers!!

I heard about you on Fox news. My Mom, whose birthday would have been July 4, passed away recently. Instead of putting her usual gift,a red/white blue bouquet on her grave, I've sent you a donation. My 22 yr old son is a Marine, Iraq war veteran. She would have loved this idea. Thank you for this great gift to our troops!

Thank you!!!

My family has a long history of serving in the US armed services. :)

My brother leave for Iraq sometime this week. :cry

MSGT Mark Evans USAF (ret.) You have shown your leadership through your service and country with honor. Family values indicates a dedication for brothers in arms, "WELL DONE" MARK AND KENT

Heard about your mission on Johnny B's show. I was glad to hear it was a success! I will be part of it next year, too! Thanks for letting me help.

Thank you Lou's and DHL for all your hard work! Our people deserve the best and to KNOW we care about them!
We need to do this more often.

I hope the troops that received the pizzas enjoyed them. I was so glad to be able to be a part of this. I love you all and hope you're home safely soon. Visit my page myspace.com/respectamericanheroes .

I want to say thank you to everyone that made this possible for us to receive the pizzas. I myself was born in Chicago, and lived in Mount Prospect till I left to Iraq and boy did you bring a little of home to me, again I want to say thanks and God Bless you.

What determination and inspiration your family has. Your act of kindness and determination has brought a deep appreciation, not only to untold numbers of our military, but their families as well.

Having family members that have served in this war, we have been blessed that they were able to return. Even though so many of our men and women are still there, it is reassuring to remember that THEY have not been forgotten. Not only have you given them this small token of “food for the soul”, but the knowledge and deep appreciation of HOME and what their patriotism and commitment to their branch of service has been for our country.

Reading their email comments to you says it all. My sincere gratitude.

Great Project, hoping you are taking care of the extra monies raised. As you are well aware there are many people who are going to try and audit all your monies raised and where it went. Make sure you aren't taking advantage of your position.

Good Job

I WANT TO THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART !!!
I am retired from the Navy and served in Beirut in 82-83 and anything from HOME is Awsome. You and your son and family are Remarkable. I will be sending a donation soon. Please keep up the good work for our troops.

I just want to say you made my year and deployment to Iraq ... I'm a born and raised 100% Chicagoan and I miss the food and especially Lou's pizza and I've been away from home since turkey day of 2007 ... and I'm writing you on the 4th of July 2008 from Baghdad, Iraq ... and I just got back from lunch at the chow hall and I went through the typical boring line of food and got some crap, till I got to the end and there it was ... a whole table of Lou Malnati's deep dish pizza ... I couldn't believe it that anybody would even care to do something like that ... I pushed my crap food aside and grabbed a whole pie and I shed tears of joy ... you made this Chicago boy's day and I don't think it can be topped, until I go home. ... I don't know if anybody thanked you and a lot of people didn't know how special the pizza was they just thought it was regular chow hall pizza and passed it up and I told them how special it was and how far it had come ... and I turned a whole bunch a people on too it ... I got attached to a unit from Arkansas and they had never tasted real good pizza before ... it really meant something to me and I thank you so very much

In a message dated 7/4/2008 5:44:15 A.M. Central Daylight Time, writes:
Happy Independence Day Family and Friends,

I thought you would get a kick out of the greatest surprise I enjoyed today. It's 109F in Baghdad at this noon hour and I was just heading to the our dining facility to grab a sandwich for after a mid-day PT workout (thankfully in an air conditioned gym). My plans were twarted in a really enjoyable way. As I walked through the door there were signs for "Fresh Chicago Pizza from Lou Malnati's Restaurant in Chicago." The dining facility always does a terrific job feeding us, especially on holidays. Today, however, they served us delicious and perfectly prepared deep dish pizza from this Chicago restaurant. I hadn't ever had Lou Malnati's pizza, but I can tell you that it was excellent. The story behind the huge donation of 3,000 hand-made pizzas and the generous people who organized the shipping and preparation is described in the linked Stars and Stripes article ( http://www.stripes.com/article.asp?section=104&article=55962 ). I tried getting on to the website run by the creative and determined father and son who had the idea, but I was unable to reach it (www.pizzas4patriots.com). If you and your friends in the Chicago area have the interest and opportunity to pass along my appreciation (and that of thousands of my teammates) to Lou Malnati's and this father and son team I'd be grateful. They chose to donate their pizzas they would have served at Taste of Chicago to this cause. Our gain was, unfortunately, Chicago's loss. What a great morale boost for my team. I thank God for this gift and the creative and patriotic Chicagoans who made it happen.

I hope your Independence Day is a wonderful one and that you will join me today in thanking God for the precious gift of liberty he's given us as Americans.

Love,

Dave

I don't mind if you forward my note of gratitude to others as a salute to Lou Malnati's and Mark and Kent Evans of pizzas4patriots.com.

Lou Malnatis is the best pizza on the planet earth, great job with donating all the pizzas. I think it's great that Malnatis donated so many pizzas, really nice.
