I got kind of a similar story about moms. A buddy of mine was in the USMC reserve during GW1. After a few months in the desert waiting for the war to begin, he wrote his mom complaining about how little food they were getting due to some supply SNAFU. Shoked that her little boy was starving in the desert, she wrote a long bithchy letter to her Georgia congressman. Low and behold what shows up a week or so later in the middle of the desert? A huge pallet of about a thousand cans of Spam, with love from Georgia! To this day hes still known as Sgt. Spam.
