Veteran's Day - Monday 11/11/24- FREE SANDWICH FOR ALL VETS

Hi Folks,

We all know "FREEDOM ISN'T FREE." It is the service and sacrifices of those men and women who have put the uniform on to protect and defend the freedoms of Our Country.

Each year at MISSION BBQ, we make Veterans Day a very special day. It is our privilege to honor and support Our Uniformed American Heroes. As a small gesture of appreciation, all Veterans and Active-Duty Military are served a Free Sandwich.

At noon, we will have a live version of the National Anthem and we recognize all Veterans in attendance as well as having a special guest or two. It would be our privilege to SERVE you.

We are reaching out to invite any and all veterans out for support with this event. 

SPECIAL NOTE - We would be more than honored to have an active military member who would volunteer to sing the national anthem live for all of our guests.  If you have already called to offer the presence of your military vehicles,  we would greatly appreciate that. 

Our recruiters and patrons would be honored to have you and your team come out and set up a table, with any swag you may desire to set up.

We kindly request the names and/or number of the volunteers. We would be honored to have any and all Veterans who are able to come out and support us on this day.

Volunteers - Please arrive between 10:00 and 10:30 am to allow for ample time to grab some morning treats. 

Doors open at 11:00am and you and your team are more than welcome to stay after the National Anthem!

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me via email, phone call or text at 248-835-4517.

Thank you!

Proudly Serving Those Who Serve,
