If you smelled chili dogs in the air today… yep, that was us! 🌭🔥 We kicked off our Veterans celebration with a heartfelt prayer, the Pledge of Allegiance, and enough food to make Uncle Sam loosen his belt buckle! Thanks to our amazing staff for being on chili dog and cookie duty. 🍪💪🏻
Each of our amazing veterans got a certificate of appreciation and pin. Also, sweet handwritten thank-you notes from the awesome kids at Brownwood Middle School — guaranteed to warm hearts faster than a fleece blanket.
Speaking of blankets — a HUGE shoutout to Stephanie, Paula and Mark from VFW Post 3278, who rolled in with handmade fleece blankets and goodie bags.
There was laughter, hugs and maybe a few cookie crumbs left behind — but most of all, there was love and gratitude for the incredible men and women who’ve served our country. ❤️🤍💙
Because here at The Chatfield, we don’t just thank our veterans… we feed them, spoil them, and celebrate them like the heroes they are.
