-- US is headed towards yet to tell me now -- how you decided to start sending -- -- and a Friday night 1 evening my son and -- we're -- Chicago deep dish pizza who knows cash.

And -- -- on -- yes and -- they definitely have peaked that the war was on the TV and I signals on this is the best seats in the world and they're eating out of boxes -- Larry's.

So he's look at -- some.

And I Somalia I think we could do that master sergeants because they're just told to do something and they do it that's what are -- our job is in the airports for the military.

And within twelve hours he answered and said hey let's have a pizza party alien master sergeant can do this.

So I email he sent it DHL he's CEO I do not eat and what -- -- -- I emailed a couple delivery company.

In the government and defense division and and it -- to me S three years ago.

Were the international specialist in and you know dealing with the day to -- business side of the house we do it.

But -- going into the conflict zones more challenging places needless to say it was frozen pizzas that have to because once they get their reaction and a 140 degree weather.

It's a quite a bit more challenging.

But I am an air force veteran myself and and value opportunity there to support the troops was was something -- we.

An analyst and the notion is that on the fourth of July.

Every -- you know where the -- done we're sending 6000 pizzas.

To -- to Afghanistan.

All the furthest operating bases they're called Bob's hand and then out from there to the camps the expertise.

Our General Petraeus said the -- the furthest out to the pizza and they can pretty much -- -- on the hood of the truck because it's hard -- And cry -- frozen all natural ingredients there wasn't -- it just needs to be around yet heated ground.

Once he gets there it tastes just like you get in the restaurant I I've worked for DHL supporting in Iraq and Afghanistan throughout -- income region.

And couple years ago we actually of the opportunities and 26000 pizzas and mark and pizza for patriots are now in the Guinness world record for the single largest pizza party ever -- it was to troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Yes and it really gonna break a record this year.

No no idea and we wanna do it but it's going to take a lot of organizing we hope to try it next year so -- this -- gonna since July 3 years or third your -- we've -- -- eight projects.

We also -- -- into Korea we do Super -- we should for Super Bowl is our next one so the chips have deep sense -- well yeah excellent.

The DMZ of Korea leadership -- and also in the Philippines.

And what we're so fortunate I am with the strike because people are offering like come pizza companies of things to be part of it so dominoes called me and they said hey can we help you in Asia.

Which then -- -- stores are sort of going into the DMZ for us and so that gives us more time and money.

And two -- -- who knows from Chicago.

And so the deep deep dish and we're so fortunate it's best pizza on -- the fish you know I don't likes than what -- -- yeah.

This is the third.

Thirty year overseas with the pizza.

I want to must close to an eight sandstorm hit Yahoo! and I we -- -- with me and it was is that that the way that it worked there was five days of solid sandstorms so why is estimated at that -- where that plane -- there at the CEO for -- has had joined as well that time.

So that was able to drag around the desert but I couldn't get a mean country -- YDHL -- to have confidence.

Did shells bend in Iraq so we were literally the first commercial aircraft to land once the official announcement of -- ninety -- -- structure and ended.

We support the -- contracts we've done over 500 million kilos of -- material movement for the military and support contractors the defense industry.

We have the capability to do it the opportunity to give them a taste of home having lived there worked there myself -- conflict environments for.

When I was in the service.

You know the opportunity to take something that's not out of a cafeteria something that really -- like home.

If it makes a big difference.
