ice cream afghanistan truck

Former soldier Neil Peacock and two of his friends wanted to give some servicemen and women overseas a little taste of home. So they bought a van on eBay (using $49,000 of their own money)  and turned it into Afghanistan's first official ice cream truck.
The three ex-soldiers painted the truck, called ConeKAF (KAF is the airfield's abbreviation), in camouflage with a "Mind the Troops" sign on the back and hired two women to serve up ice cream.
The arrival of the truck is announced by its 'Whistle While You Work," chimes. And for about $2 for, British and American troops stationed in Kandahar, Afghanistan, can enjoy a cool cone. Local kids get theirs for free.
