Honoring Mr. Doug and Other Veterans
United States Beef CEO Jeff Davis previously announced his appreciation for these courageous heroes willing to defend and serve the country. So giving away free sandwiches was just a token of gratitude. Indeed, Mr. Doug might have been suffering from a stomach problem, and he might have lost his family, but he had found a new one in Arby’s.
In 2015, the National Veterans Foundation revealed that 1.5 million of these heroes live in poverty. Although this group had a lower poverty rate than others, it still doesn’t mean they should be living that way because they sacrificed their youth for ordinary citizens.
