Recently, he and his son have decided to repeat history, but on a much bigger scale.<br /><br />They decided to try to raise money to send 300 Lou Malnati's pies to the troops serving in Iraq and Afghanistan for a Fourth of July pizza party. The response has been so tremendous that <a href="http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=211769&src=1" target=_"blank">they have increased their goal to 3,000 pizzas</a>.<br /><br />Anyone interested in helping can <a href="mailto:sgtevans@sbcglobal.net">send an email to Evans</a>. Kudos to DHL for offering free shipping for all of the pizzas the Evans buy for this project.Marla Collins' Husbandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02464420909788025476noreply@blogger.com
