LUBBOCK, Texas, Nov. 10, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Abuelo's Mexican Restaurant, famous for its authentic, made-from-scratch Mexican cuisine, is paying tribute to America's veterans again this year by partnering with Honor Flight, a nonprofit that transports veterans to Washington, D.C. to visit national memorials that honor U.S. service members. Abuelo's will donate $1 to Honor Flight for each Chile con Queso appetizer sold from Wednesday, November 10 through Sunday, November 14, at every Abuelo's location.

"Our partnership with Abuelo's helps us transport veterans to visit the nation's capital to remember comrades and share their experiences," said Meredith Rosenbeck, CEO of Honor Flight. "We are grateful to the Abuelo's team and restaurant guests who make this fundraiser a success. Without the generosity and support of donors and sponsors, the services we provide to veterans wouldn't be possible."

"We're proud to partner with Honor Flight to pay tribute to those who served and sacrificed in defense of freedom," said Robert Lin, President of Abuelo's. "Our team members and guests did a wonderful job in past years raising funds for this cause, and we anticipate another successful year. We owe our veterans everything, so it is an honor to salute them again this year with an Honor Flight promotion."

Thanks to sponsors and donors, veterans who participate in Honor Flight trips are able to travel to Washington, D.C. at no cost as a sign of appreciation and gratitude for their service. Veterans on Honor Flight trips get an opportunity to visit memorials and monuments in the capital, pay tribute to lost friends and share their stories with fellow veterans.
