COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Army officials have launched a new campaign to combat food insecurity at Fort Carson with Sally Struthers as a celebrity spokeswoman.
Dubbed “Operation Star-Spangled Sustenance,” the initiative aims to feed hungry soldiers for just $1.23 a day — less than the cost of a cup of coffee or a single chicken nugget combo meal.
“These brave young men and women volunteered to defend our freedom,” Struthers says in a new infomercial launched this week, clutching a half-empty ketchup bottle, one of the few condiments still available on post.
“But today, many are fighting a new battle to survive on base dining options that would make an MRE seem like fine dining. Won’t you help?”
