"Mark Evans, a retired Air Force sergeant, has taken it upon himself to send hundreds of Chicago-style pizzas to soldiers who will be in Iraq and Afghanistan on the Fourth of July.

The Daily Herald says Evans got Lou Malnati's to give him a discount on deep-dish pizzas and DHL Global to ship the frozen pies at no charge. At first, he planned to send 300 pizzas. That number has grown exponentially since reporters learned about the plan. AP says they're now set to ship 3,000 pies."
