Celebrities Help Bodog Treat a Full House of Armed Forces to Hawaiian Poker Spectacle
U.S. troops in the Aloha State recently got a special poker-themed treat, courtesy of online gambling site Bodog.com. In what amounted to a tremendous morale-boosting festival, Bodog held a two-day charity event for 110,000 members of the U.S. army, navy, marines, and air force currently stationed at bases in Hawaii. Many of these soldiers will be traveling to the front lines in Iraq or had just returned from an extended stint there.
