A Texas Based Grocery Company Is Honoring Veterans With A Special Trip to The Nation's Capital.

In 2010, Brookshire Grocery Co. embarked on a mission to escort a group of World War II veterans to Washington D.C. to visit the World War II Memorial along with several other points of interest.

“Brookshire’s World War II Heroes Flight” first took place on May 11 & 12, 2010, with 38 veterans and 19 others, mostly Brookshire’s employees, to assist them. The endeavor was fully funded and coordinated by Brookshire’s, at no cost to the veterans.

Brookshire Grocery Company (BGC) will be accepting applications from military veterans until June 28 for an all-expenses paid trip to Washington D.C. to honor veterans for their service and sacrifices.

To date, more than 500 veterans have made the trip.
