Michigan congressional delegation calls on National Guard to provide proper meals for soldiers and last updated 2021-03-02 22:34:52-05 (WXYZ) â In a letter to the Chief of the National Guard Bureau, Republican and Democratic members of Michigan's congressional delegation demanded that soldiers are given proper meals after it was revealed that some Michigan National Guard members were hospitalized due to poor food quality. The guard members are currently stationed in Washington D.C. at the request of Capitol police. âIt is completely unacceptable that our men and women serving in Washington D.C are being hospitalized due to the food they are being provided," part of the letter reads. "As Representatives of these service members, we request that either the current contract be voided and a new food provider be brought in or that the service members be provided with a per diem throughout their remaining time in Washington, D.C."
