Former Speaker Pelosi received chocolate covered strawberries as a birthday surprise on a March 26, 2010 flight.According to one internal Air Force email sent on March 25, 2010: "The speaker's office is requesting egg salad sandwiches on wheat toast with fruit (watermelon, etc) for desert [sic]. It's the speaker's B-Day tomorrow so we're also asking for something like chocolate covered strawberries (dark chocolate preferred)…" The immediate response to the email from another member of the Air Force staff: "Copy all.
We'll plan something for the birthday and take care of the meal."
