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 4th 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.

What’s Happening at Hot Dogs for Heroes in 2014

We’ve been honored to sponsor Hot Dogs For Heroes and Explorer Scout floats in the 4th 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.

I recommend Travis for an Veteran that has been dealing with constant denial with claims. He also , cover cost for my nexus letter when I ran into financial troubles , that helped me win my case.edwin Cook
I highly recommend Travis Studdard to represent anyone looking to help with VA claims. The VA is very difficult to deal with when attempting to get benefits from service connected injuries, at least that's my experience. Travis and his team knows the VA system and the legal procedures to help you get what you deserve. Travis was kind and passionate with me throughout this process and therefore, I highly recommend this law firm to represent DAV's.Terry Hembree
Such an awesome team. They spoke to me like a person and helped me through every decision with knowledge.Kevin Collett
Highly recommend this firm. Did exactly what they said they were going to and fairly timely. The VA is sometimes extremely difficult to navigate but this took all the leg work away from me and got me the result I thought was fair.Andrew Boone

I highly recommend Jason Perkins and the Team at Perkins and Studdard. Jason did a wonderful job on my case and actually got me better results than what I was hoping for. He was always so patient with me and made sure I was understanding every process in my case. He never seemed to mind me asking questions and always gave me straightforward answers. My phone calls to him or his staff were promptly answered or returned and everyone was always so helpful, personable, and respectful. He kept me updated on all the details of my case and sent helpful videos for me to review that were very informative.Dru Vaughn

I could not have asked for a better lawyer to represent my worker comp. case. Any questions I had during the process was always answered in a timely manner. Mr. Perkins really cared about insuring that I wasn't being taken advantage of during this process and helped us reach a settlement that I feel comfortable with.
