drat. I wonder, will he ever know the difference he made? The lives he saved? The wars he averted? Will the angels sing his praises as he enters the pearly gates? Rarely has a man deserved such adoration. Truly we were blessed to have known his hungry face.

quote:

Several years after the photo was released, Williams was tasked with an Air Force deployment that required him to travel between numerous sites downrange. To his surprise, young Airmen and Soldiers would approach him in the DFACs, and cautiously ask the SNCO if he was the Hot Dog Guy, and then ask for a picture with him.

“I figured, why not, it was the least that I could do to make their day, especially given the austere conditions that they were living and working in downrange,” Williams said. “In fact, many of them expressed their excitement and left quickly to tell their friends that they had met the Hot Dog Guy.”

I always respected the hell out of the fact they chose this guy - a guy of obvious middle eastern descent. Cause that's what America is about and America's military is ironically like the best example of what we can be. And so Sgt. Chowdown has just as much of a chance as any one else to rise through the ranks and god drat that's what I want my America to be about.

Chief Master Sargeant Chowdown posted:

“I’d tell people, ‘If you saw the hot dog picture downrange or in Germany and also in CONUS, then I can check another thing off my bucket list,’” he said. “They’d say, ‘What’s that?’ ‘International male model.’”

I just want to say I learned about him before I joined the forums from my SO. Kinda funny he came up in a random conversation as I was then shown this... hotdog Adonis. Then when I joined the forums and saw him brought up or photoshopped frequently and it was always funny. I Also enjoyed reading how people didn't know who this hotdog eater in the picture was for like, decades until someone found and interviewed him.

I hope he's chowing down in heaven.
