Hi,
I didn't want to post this earlier and take away any attention from the Wounded Warrior event last weekend.
There is an annual weekend long event in the town of Cow Harbor, Long Island, NY (adjacent to Northport) where wounded veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan are honored and treated to a number of activities. The weekend kicks off with a parade for the veterans.
Immediately following the parade (roughly 6:30pm) we will be serving BBQ for about 125 veterans, their families and some parade volunteers. Actually, that's not quite accurate as we won't be doing the literal serving.
I need some help to pull this off. By our usual standards, this is a pretty small event. We will do some BBQ standbyes and then some burgers/dogs for the kids.
We need a couple of rigs to do some ribs and hot and fast pork, some meat donated (I'll cover the costs on whatever we can't get donated), people to lend a hand, a couple of tents and some other basic stuff that most competitors have.
I can bring down a couple of WSM's and a PBC, but I don't think that will cut it.
If there's anyone out there that deserves a great meal and a little recognition, it's these men and women.
A Facebook event page is here:

Please let me know if you can help out.
