Turkeys Set Aside for U S Service Men This Thanksgiving
Uncle Sam plans to reserve 69 million pounds of turkey for service members during Thanksgiving Christmas and New Year observances. The Army will ensure GI Joe gets turkey for those holidays, potentially limiting civilian supplies. Farm owners with 25 or fewer birds may sell locally for civilian use. The War Food Administration estimates total turkey availability around 500 million pounds nationwide.
