ASHLAND, KS -- Mr. Bill Broadie, Sr. Vice Chairmen of the All American Beef Battalion, sent a letter to President Bush asking for support. The full text of the letter is below.

A group of individuals involved in the beef industry want to show support to the many troops who are fighting the war on terror. We believe the best way to show this support is for the beef industry to put together a steak feed for ALL the troops in the combat zone.

This steak feed will help with the morale of the troops and people will realize that a significant number of Americans are behind the troops and you, Mr. President.

We want to do this as the U.S. Beef Industry and not as any given organization. In order to help get this project off of the ground, we need your support to approve this operation and get the “All American Beef Battalion” into the fight. At this point, it has been difficult to get this project started as the low level bureaucrats can’t get their mind around this type of operation.

I am an old mud marine from Vietnam and do not want our troops treated like we were. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact either myself or Kendal Kay at your convenience. 


Sincerely,

Bill Broadie
Sr. Vice Chairman
All American Beef Battalion, Inc.
