Italian Hospitality

I just finished reading a news article and I am grinning from ear to ear. The Friday dinner for wounded troops that started at Fran O'Brien's was held at the Italian embassy this weekend and it was apparently as good as I had hoped it would be when I first heard of the plans.

Go read Stars & Stripes' report of the event . It will make your day (don't miss the pictures).

Update: Here's another report of the event, with more quotes from participants than the Stars and Stripes article has.
