It’s our joy to continue the tradition that was begun
in 2011, and donate 100% of the proceeds from Lot
21(as our form of 21 Gun Salute) to the All American
Beef Battalion.
This year, under the suggestion of Dale and Marjorie
Leistritz, we’re going to up the ante and double the
donations to veterans and military service organiza-
tions. Dale, aVietnam veteran himself, has given a nod
to the valuable work of Building Homes for Heroes
and the Wounded Warrior Project. We’ll match the
sale price of Lot 21 and divide that between these two
organizations.
Our sincere appreciation can never be expressed for
all that the military has done for us.
Please take time to view the following websites to

Our Purpose
* To organize and sponsor steak feeds, entertain-
ment, programs, meetings, and projects with
Service members and their families
* To encourage and assist them in any reasonable
manner
* To foster among the people of the United States
an appreciation, respect, and honor for our Armed
Forces Military Service members whose sacrifices
have and will continue to make our freedoms possi-
ble.
The All American Beef Battalion is the vision of Bill
Broadie of Ashland, KS. Bill is a 4th generation cattle
man in Kansas who served with the 3rd Marine division
in Vietnam in 1967.
Our vision is to support the troops fighting the war on
terror while promoting American Beef. We can do this
as an industry by having steak feeds for deploying
troops and at their homecoming. As we advance into
this mission we hope to take the cookouts directly to
the combat zones wherever they may be.
As our experience grows we believe there are many
avenues we can take to support the troops and pro-
mote American Beef. There are many ways we can help
the troops, not only by feeding them but also by help-
ing their families or by helping the families of those
killed in combat. To do this we have a dream... its a mis-
sion bigger than any individual, but not bigger than our
industry.
We ask for your help to support these young men and
women who offer so much for all of us.
