Operation Chefs Unite

New Year Wishes

PC250671-1

As we begin a new year, the ACF Greater Atlanta Chapter would like to take a moment and recognize our military men and women for their service to our country. We are forever grateful for the freedoms we so often take for granted, freedoms that we sometimes do not realize we have and freedoms that are not free, but have come at a great price. Thank you to the men and women that missed the Holidays with their families. These brave men and women didn’t get to share the moments around the dinner table with loved ones or kiss that special someone as the New Year rang in. We the ACF Greater Atlanta Chapter appreciate all that you do for us and show that appreciation through Operation Chefs Unite (OCU). Thank you, Chef Michael Deihl, Bill Masden of Perdue Farms and the men and women who assisted him in preparing the Christmas Day dinner for the troops traveling through Atlanta’s airport. Also thank you, Chef Ron Horgan and those who helped him prepare the New Year’s Day meal. It is such a small offering to those who are sacrificing so much. Our warmest and best wishes for 2010 to all of the military men, women and their families.
