Global restaurateur HMSHost and Chef Patrick Malone, military veteran, are celebrating Veteran’s Day this month with the debut of an exclusive burger in nearly 50 of their restaurants across U.S. airports, with proceeds going toward supporting military charities.
The burger, a Budweiser BBQ Cheddar Burger, will be served only in the month of November. Further, HMSHost invites active-duty U.S. military and veterans to enjoy a complimentary Budweiser BBQ Cheddar Burger on Monday, Nov 12 at participating HMSHost-operated airport restaurants.
A portion of the proceeds from Budweiser BBQ Cheddar Burger sales will be donated to local charities in support of veterans and their families. The donation will be made by the HMSHost foundation, through which the restaurant operator funds charitable events and activities.
“HMSHost Food Fight for Veterans is part of our continuous support and gratitude for the dedication of our veterans and active-duty military who serve our country every day. We will never be able to thank our service men and women enough for their service, but we hope they enjoy this token of appreciation during their travels,” said HMSHost President and CEO Steve Johnson. “We thank them and salute them for their service and sacrifices.”
In addition to this event, Honor Our American Heroes, an initiative for travelers to pen inspiring and grateful messages to our troops, will be collecting messages in participating airports that will be shared with the U.S.O. airport lounges for service members.
