MORE INFO: Former Redskin and Super Bowl XXVI MVP Mark Rypien will join Uno
Chicago Grill® CEO and Vietnam Veteran Frank Guidara, and Mark Evans, founder
of Pizzas 4 Patriots, to deliver pizzas and goodwill to residents of the three
Fisher Houses(TM) that support members of the military and their families
located at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. Rypien and Guidara will join
Evans to announce the launch of Operation Pizza Surge - Super Bowl, to deliver
thousands of pizzas to our troops to enjoy on Super Bowl Sunday.

"It is an honor to support the Fisher House Foundation and the families
currently residing in the three Fisher Houses at Walter Reed Army Medical
Center," said Guidara. "We're glad to visit with those who have served our
country and their families to share pizza and goodwill in honor of Veterans
Day and to include them in our mission to support their comrades in arms."

Because members of the military and their families are stationed worldwide and
must often travel great distances for specialized medical care, Fisher House
Foundation donates "comfort homes," built on the grounds of major military and
VA medical centers that allow family members to be close to a loved one at the
most stressful times. There are three Fisher Houses located at Walter Reed
Army Medical Center, currently hosting 27 families.

INTERVIEW/PHOTO OPS:
Rypien will be on hand to serve pizzas, sign autographs and take photos with
the service members and their families residing at the DC-based Fisher Houses.
On hand for interviews and comment will be Pizzas 4 Patriots founder Mark
Evans, UNO® CEO Frank Guidara, himself a Vietnam Army Veteran, Jim Weiskopf,
Executive Vice President, Communications, Fisher House Foundation, and David
M. Griffith, Colonel, U.S. Army, Director, Freedom Team Salute.
