United Supermarkets is teaming up with Frito Lay and Matador Beef Jerky to send our men and women a special treat from home.

For only $3.99 (with coupon), United Supermarkets will send a package of beef jerky to our troops in an effort to help them have access to an all-American favorite snack food.

Don't miss this chance to send some love and support to our troops by donating a package or two of jerky to the brave people who are working to keep America the great place we all call home.

Chances are you or someone you know has a family member who is now (or has in the past) served in the armed forces. Or maybe you yourself served our country at some point in your life.

Either way, there is no denying it takes a very special individual to decide their calling  in life is to dedicate their lives, and in some cases give their lives, for billions of people they will never meet.

Regardless of whether you've ever served, or known someone who has, I think we can all agree that one of the hardest things must be the long periods of time these men and women must spend away from family and friends.

The comforts we all take for granted such as being able to go to the store and stock up on our favorite drinks and snacks is something men and women on active duty do not have the  luxury of doing for themselves.

Think of it as a personal 'thank you' for their service...with meat.
