Funds Raised in \u201cQueso for Heroes\u201d Veterans Day Promotion Will Enable Honor <\/em>Flight to Transport More Veterans to Washington, D.C. to Visit Memorials<\/em><\/p>\n

LUBBOCK, Texas, Dec. 17, 2020 —<\/strong> Abuelo’s Mexican Restaurant, famous for its authentic, made-from-scratch Mexican cuisine, raised $7,000 for the Honor Flight Network in November to celebrate Veterans Day. Abuelo\u2019s Mexican Restaurant, famous for its authentic, made-from-scratch Mexican cuisine, continued its partnership with the Honor Flight Network in celebration of Veterans Day. In November, $7,000 was raised for Honor Flight to assist in transporting American veterans to Washington, D.C., to visit memorials of those who served and sacrificed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Abuelo\u2019s held its \u201cQueso for Heroes\u201d promotion from Nov. 7 to Nov. 11 to honor Veterans Day, donating $1 to Honor Flight for each sale of its popular Chile con Queso appetizer. The restaurant chain also paid tribute to veterans and active servicemembers who visited Abuelo\u2019s by providing a free entr\u00e9e from a special Veterans Day menu at select locations.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn behalf of Honor Flight, I\u2019d like to thank all of the Abuelo\u2019s team members who made this fundraiser such a success,\u201d said Meredith Rosenbeck, CEO of Honor Flight. \u201cMany veterans would like the opportunity to visit the nation\u2019s capital, see their memorial and share their stories, but some lack the means to do so. With the help of partners like Abuelo\u2019s, we\u2019re able to fulfill their wish.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last year, Honor Flight flew more than 23,000 veterans to Washington, D.C. for an all-expenses paid visit that many would not have been able to make otherwise. Honor Flight currently arranges trips for veterans who served during World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War. The organization also serves terminally ill veterans from any era of service. Since 2005, the Honor Flight Network has transported nearly a quarter of a million veterans to visit memorials in the capital.<\/p>\n

\u201cSupporting our community is deeply engrained in our culture at Abuelo\u2019s, so we were pleased to work with Honor Flight again this year to pay tribute to our military heroes,\u201d said Abuelo\u2019s President Robert Lin. \u201cI am grateful to the guests who visited our restaurants during the promotion and made the fundraiser successful, and I am thankful for the dedication of the Abuelo\u2019s team, who made it possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

On trips arranged by the nationwide Honor Flight Network, veterans get a chance to share stories of their sacrifice and service, reunite with fellow comrades and pay tribute to those lost. The organization also plans to expand its service to honor veterans from more recent conflicts. Learn more at\u00a0www.honorflight.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n
