Back in April, 2024 several barbecue teams from the Desoto County, MS & Memphis TN area gathered meat, rubs, sauces, etc to send to our US Troops serving in the Middle East. Today, the Tennessee Air Guard presented us with flags that flew over the base while they used these supplies. Thank you, Boars Night Out Championship BBQ, Sweet Swine O' Mine Smoker and Grill Superstore, Hernando VFW Post And Auxiliary 7531, How To BBQ Right, Heath Riles BBQ, Thacker Mountain BBQ Supply, and everyone else that helped give these soldiers a “taste of home” while they protected our freedom to enjoy our hobby. It was very humbling and we know that our contribution was significantly small compared to their sacrifices.
