I had posted something about this in a threadjack, on the WBoD, last year...it was kind of overlooked, because the thread had descended into a running "I like pizza" joke.
But, it does exist: Pizzas 4 Patriots
This is a non-profit that has teamed with Pizzeria Uno and DHL Worldwide Delivery to bring a "slice of home" to our troops serving overseas, as well as vets being treated in veterans' hospitals.
"Pizzas 4 Patriots is a non-profit organization with the mission of making a positive difference in the lives of our service men and women. Those patriots presently serving and our wounded veterans. It is our goal to provide our armed forces with gifts from home. Through financial donations from individuals and financial, product and service donations from organizations who want to show appreciation for the troops sacrifice. These gifts include but are not limited to any item that can bring home to the patriots. It is our goal to make them feel they are not forgotten but remembered and appreciated by the country and residents who enjoy the freedoms that they provide for us."

...with Veterans' Day just around the corner, anyone who might find the means to contribute to show their appreciation; touch the lives of those who serve, so far from home, and remember the veterans - as a kind reminder of our thankfulness - it would be a gesture that would not go unnoticed.
It's a small thing to do, that would bring such a smile to so many.
Cheers, and thanx.
