A Hooter-rific holiday treat
A Hooter-rific holiday treat
Posted : Saturday Dec 20, 2008 10:56:16 EST

Few things appeal to Marines like Hooters girls and hot wings — except, maybe, Hooters girls and free hot wings.

That’s what many Marines found Dec. 10 when they passed through the Raleigh-Durham International Airport in North Carolina.

Jacquelyn Ngo, 23, was among the Hooters waitresses who volunteered to sling some 300 free wings to the troops.

“They loved it,” she said. “I think the wings were more popular than us at first. But then we got to talking, and they loved having happy smiling faces and someone else to talk to.”

The United Service Organizations teamed with Hooters to produce the event as a way to boost morale prior to the holidays.

4. Several marines were quoted
"Wings? They gave away wings? That's what I was eating? I hadn't noticed ..."
