Brothers sending 2 tons of salami to troops in Iraq

NEWARK, New Jersey (AP) -- Brothers Marc and Michael Brummer figure the best way they can help support U.S. troops stationed in Iraq is to try to feed them -- thousands of them.The co-owners of Hobby's Deli hope to send salami to the entire 42nd Infantry Division, currently in Tikrit.It'll take an estimated 23,000 salamis to reach that goal.
