Repost: Operation BBq For Our Troops: Honoring Our Soldiers

                   

                As the USA begins it's Independence Day celebration on Monday, before we start our barbeques, picnics, vacations and firework displays; it's great to thank our servicemen and women, their families  and those organizations which support them. 

      Operation BBQ For The Troops is run through donations and volunteers across the USA. I found out about the charity through Ladies Home Journal. You can find out more info or make a donation at their website or can support KC Masterpiece, which is one of their main corporate donors.

  Here's a video from Bobby Flay at Food Network as he  features this organization:














Happy Independence Day!
