Chron.com, a blog that covers military and veteran's news, reported today on a discovery their reporter made in Iraq.
The article reports:
"I was exploring Camp Cropper last week when I smelled something I never expected to smell in Baghdad: Texas barbecue.
"I followed my nose and found half a dozen soldiers from the Houston-based 72nd Infantry Brigade Combat Team grilling burgers outside their barracks."
The person manning the barbeque grill, Sgt. Alberto Salazar, explained that the barbeque was a 'bonding' experience for the Texas natives in Iraq and helped the time go faster while they were there.
The article also pointed out that the barbeque sauces they had brought with them were running low, and donations of barbeque supplies would be appreciated.
If you want to help, please send any non-perishable sauces and seasonings to:
Charlie Company
3-141 Infantry
APO AE 09342
Anything sent will be promptly consumed and greatly appreciated.
