Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support officials will help to add to this year's Super Bowl experience for deployed troops by supplying U.S. forces in Iraq and Afghanistan with all the wings, pizza and chili they can handle.
As deployed troops in remote locations watch the Steelers and Packers square off, they can feast on fries, jalapeno poppers with cheddar and cream cheese, chicken wings, onion rings and NA beer (no alcohol).
