UNMET NEEDS & BURGER KING

From November 1 – November 30, 2010, Burger King Franchisee restaurants in the following 24 states are again launching a month-long VFW “Unmet Needs” campaign. The states are: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas and Wisconsin. Customers will be asked to donate a dollar and sign a support pledge that will be
proudly displayed inside each restaurant.
I am asking for your assistance in this grand promotion. First, I need you to mobilize your members, their families and friends to patronize your local Burger King. Stop in, have a meal and be sure and thank the restaurant manager for their commitment. Ask him/her how your Post might be able to help.
Also, do everything you can to publicize the Burger King Franchisee campaign. Perhaps put a phrase such as “Eat at Burger King -- They Love Our Troops” on the sign outside your Post. Mention Burger King on your Post’s website or newsletter, send an editorial letter to your city newspaper, organize a Post nightout to eat at a Burger King, etc.
Isn’t this the least we can do for the Burger King Franchisee owners who have done so much to ensure that our military families are not forgotten?
Let’s not let Burger King franchisee owners down—after all they deserve our enthusiastic support for this exemplary endeavor on the VFW’s benevolent Unmet Needs program that you likewise contribute on a regular basis, all of which goes directly in providing grants to our military families during their most vulnerable times!
Sincerely,
Allen F. “Gunner” Kent
Adjutant General
