WHITFIELD: A little inspiration here. A retired Air Force sergeant wants U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan to have a slice of home for the July 4th holiday. He's shipping thousands of Chicago- style, yum, deep dish pizzas, so the troops can have a taste of home.</s>MARK EVANS, ORGANIZER, PIZZA FOR PATRIOTS: What a project. A very big project.</s>KEN EVANS, SON OF PIZZA FOR PATRIOTS: I think they will be happy they got something from home that's good that they could eat for the 4th of July.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Pizza. Put this one out the back.</s>MARK EVANS: We were eating Lou Malnati's Pizza at our dinner table and we heard the Iraq war going on TV in the other room. He said, Dad, do they have pizza there? I said, yes, they have pizza but not like Chicago style pizza. Kent, you can't copy. This is the best pizza in the world.</s>KENT EVANS: They'll be happy to receive the pizza when they get it. And all the time and effort will pay off.</s>MARK EVANS: It's tough out there too. They need good food. So I called Lou Malnati's and they said we'll back you 100 percent, whatever you want, which is amazing. They have been awesome. Those guys are under a lot of stress there. There's lots of pressure. I can't imagine what they're experiencing. A lot of times you sit there and think back at home and your life, you know, I hope they are thinking about me. So, it's 100 percent. They need a slice of home.</s>WHITFIELD: All right, the Evans' originally hoped to send 300 pizzas, but he received so much support he's sending out 3,000. I know they will all be eaten up, no problem. All right, a little pop quiz for you coming up. Do you know who the Supreme Court chief justice is, or perhaps what country has the third largest army? These are just some of the questions that make a lot of Americans go hmmm.
