WASHINGTON, Feb. 4 (UPI) -- The U.S. Defense Logistics Agency's Troop Support division said Super Bowl snacks for troops in Iraq and Afghanistan will include wings, chili and pizza.

The agency said other game-time munchies for troops watching Sunday's contest between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Green Bay Packers will include onion rings, fries, mozzarella sticks and meatballs. There also will be non-alcoholic beer.

"We cannot do enough to say thank you to our deployed men and women in uniform sacrificing and serving to protect our way of life here in America," said Richard Ellis, acting commander of DLA Troop Support. "It is our pleasure and honor to serve them up some familiar fare so they can have a full Super Bowl experience before they continue on their mission."
