“We thank Abuelo’s for partnering with us again this year to help us provide our nation’s veterans with a day of honor at their memorials in Washington, D.C.,” said Meredith Rosenbeck, CEO of the Honor Flight Network. “Abuelo’s Mexican Restaurant and its guests are making it possible for more of our veterans to visit the national monuments dedicated to their service, where they can share their experiences with other servicemembers and reflect on the sacrifices of those who didn’t make it home. It’s an honor our veterans have earned with their service.”
“At Abuelo’s, we’re incredibly grateful to the veterans who heroically protected our freedom, so we are proud to recognize Veterans Day with our continuous partnership with Honor Flight,” said Robert Lin, President of Abuelo’s Mexican Restaurants. “Helping veterans visit the capital and receive the respect and recognition they deserve is such an admirable cause, and I am thankful to our guests and the Abuelo’s Mexican Restaurant teams for everything they do to support our partnership with the Honor Flight Network.”
