Pass the ammo and a bag of Velma’s
Sunday, July 29th, 2007SPC James Parham (of the 1st CAV Warhorse out of Ft. Lewis, WA) is one lucky guy. He’s now stationed in Iraq. His mother-in-law Cynthia sent him a couple of bags a few weeks ago. Apparently James’ team/squad/platoon got a taste of the stuff and got addicted immediately. (Classified ingredient: “agent yellow”) Everyone demanded a bag so Cynthia sent over 2 cases of the stuff. 24 bags total!
SPC James Parham is the guy on the right with the “doo rag”. Never thought I’d ever see a bag of Velma’s next to an M-16. Wasn’t this how Spam got it’s start? (The meat product, not the crappy e-mail.) The military gave it to the troops during WWII and they ended up liking it and continued eating it when they got home. You’d think the French cruisine would’ve stuck during WWII…but Spam? Maybe it’s a myth started by the Hawaiians. (who love the stuff)
Maybe we can get a contract from Haliburton to sell kettle corn to the military. What would you think they would sell this stuff for? $20 a bag?
