The History of Hot Dogs for Heroes

How Hot Dogs for Heroes Started

Five years ago we asked our friend, Jane Carroll (former Carrollton Asst. Chief of Police), how we might serve the local police in some way. She spoke with Carrollton Police Chief Joel Richards and gave us his recommendation – that we help the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) support the Explorer Scout post. That’s when we met Officers Chad Wilson and Chris Dunson – the Explorer Scout leaders. With their help, Hot Dogs For Heroes was born.

That first year we sponsored a float in the 4^th of July parade. It was constructed by Mr. Tom Keever and the Explorers and honored local fallen law enforcement officers. That float won the parade’s Spirit Cup Award! After the parade, we opened our office’s backyard for free hot dogs, lemonade, music, and fun.

We’ve been honored to sponsor Hot Dogs For Heroes and Explorer Scout floats in the 4^th of July parade each of the last five years. Over that time we’ve worked with several great Carrollton police officers and lots of hard working Explorer Scouts. This year we are expanding Hot Dogs For Heroes with even more food, games, and fun and to honor our military veterans as well. We appreciate all of our friends, old and new, who have helped make Hot Dogs For Heroes such a success. We thought you might enjoy meeting some of them.

Consider joining us after the Carrollton 4th of July Parade to honor our heroes. Everyone is welcome at Hot Dogs For Heroes, and admission is completely free. We will have food, drinks, music, and lots of fun!

My deepest thanks to Travis Studdard, Jessica Hyatt and their team at Perkins Studdard! My odyssey with the VA began after my Marine Corps career ended and has gone on well over a decade. I initially worked on my claim myself but after 6 years, yes 6 years, of fighting with the VA, I was finally at the end of what I thought was a hopeless battle. Then I came across Perkins Studdard LLC while on Facebook and decided, what did I have to lose, so I gave them a call and had a conversation with Travis. He was very helpful, honest, and frank in his advise to me and thankfully he decided to take my case. He took a completely different strategy than the one I had been employing and with his expertise, once my case and multiple appeals had finally been settled, I received everything he promised and everything I deserved. The only thing I would have changed...I would have hired Perkins Studdard when I first intended to file a claim with the VA, rather than try to do it myself. Thank you and Semper Fi Rich LarsenRichard Larsen

Throughout Mr. Perkins's engagement as legal counsel, from initial contact to case resolution, the firm consistently demonstrated professionalism, responsiveness, and efficiency. His instructional materials were easily comprehensible, and both he and his staff provided clear and concise explanations at every stage. His representation was highly effective. I wholeheartedly recommend his services; he is both diligent and fair.Carol

What if I have more questions about my VA claim?

I understand you want your VA claim to be done as quickly as possible. But remember the ultimate goal – to win your VA disability compensation claim. You may eventually get there on your own, but it may be after a series of decisions by the Regional Office and Board of Veterans Appeals. Sometimes claims are appealed and remanded several times, which can cause a claim to drag on for years. If you are interested in avoiding unnecessary delay in your claim and want to do everything you can to maximize your chances of success, it is probably a good idea for you to consult with an accredited veterans disability attorney. We would be happy to talk to you. If you would like a free consultation with our Perkins Studdard veterans disability attorneys just click here or give us a call to begin the process.
