Bandido Charlie News Fall/Winter 2008
Wayne Parrish and friends went to Ft. Bragg and cooked for the troops.
A group of River Rats, Quiet Birdmen, Casbarians, and some members of our Franklin County American Legion Post traveled to Ft. Bragg yesterday and put on a Pig Pickin for about 450 members of the wounded warriors battalion there and their families at noon today.
We cooked 3 pigs, Bare Bottom Beans, Slaw, Potato Salad, BBQ Bread and had Ice Cream for desert.
It was a very rewarding experience for all of us and well received and appreciated by them. These are the real people of this world, and it was an honor to do something for them.
Thank all of You that participated in this great event. Take Care and GBU All, Coke
