No one deserves our thanks more than the brave men and women who serve in our Armed Forces. That’s why Slim Jim and WWE are joining forces to pay Tribute to the Troops. You can do your part by saying "thank you" with an e-mail or a letter to a member of the U.S. Military, or by helping Slim Jim donate snacks.
