MHA ANNOUNCEMENTS

Enlistsed Aide of the Year Award 2009MILITARY CULINARY COMPETITION - September 24-25, 2010
Competing for $7,000 in cash prizes, classes at the CIA and Dale Carnegie, bragging rights, and enjoying a great educational experience, 15 active duty teams will compete along with, new this year, 4 teams from DC area military clubs.  The top 5 teams from rounds 1-3 will go HEAD TO HEAD at 2:30-4:30 pm.  At 5:00 a 6-man skydiving team of VETS lead by Ranger Jones and including a double amputee will announce the beginning of the awards ceremony with a dazzling landing.  Click here for the very latest info.

We're focusing attention on Wounded Warriors by including a tribute to LtCol Greg Gatson.  Col. Gatson lost both legs to a roadside bomb in Iraq and subsequently was the N. Y. Giants honorary co-captain when they won the Super Bowl in 2008.   In 2009 he became the first person to receive bionic legs.  Come and meet and honor all our stars, especially our star chefs from all branches of the military.

Held outside Marine Barracks, DC, in conjunction with the Barracks Row Fall Festival, some 9000 people will be there, as well as New Orleans' renowned chef and creator of "blackened" foods and the one who made Cajun food popular, Chef Paul Prudhomme; former White House Chef Walter Scheib; LtGen Russel Honore who lead the Katrina effort.  Mrs. Michelle Obama has been invited.

Photo includes Marine Corps MG Willie Williams, 2009 winning White House team, Chef Walter Scheib, Rational & Tyson reps, Redskins cheerleaders, Miss DC and Miss Teen DC.  It is a GREAT event!

This years teams include four teams from the White House, Secretary of Defense, Secretary of Homeland Security, Secretary of the Air Force, Army Reserve and Army Europe.  Their awesome talent will be on display for civilians and military brass to see and appreciate.
