| 23,000 Really Big Salamis For The Troops |
| 2005-05-04 |
| 23-thousand salamis. That's the goal for brothers Marc and Michael Brummer, co-owners of Hobby's Deli in Newark. The Brummers hope to provide a taste of home for each soldier in 42nd Infantry Division serving in Tikrit, Iraq. The brothers loaded the first two-thousand salamis--about 2 tons in all--onto a truck yesterday in the first phase of what they dub "Operation Salami Drop." The dried meat could arrive Over There as early as this weekend. Almost eight-thousand more salamis are in the pipeline, all of which have been purchased with donations of ten bucks per salami. A 13-year-old Warren County girl donated one-thousand dollars from her bat mitzvah money to the cause. Marc Brummer says: "You have to do something. I can do salamis." Those things are huge. |
