Warriors' Watch Riders Forums

We have received the following request from our friends at Mission BBQ. There is no need to re-type, her case is perfectly composed!

Good afternoon!
I wanted to extend an invite to you for one of our local Heroes... Mister Merlyn Hoppel. Merlyn is a an Army WWII, Korean War and 2x Vietnam Veteran. He is a very dear friend of ours here at MISSION BBQ Philadelphia. Next week, Merlyn will be turning 96 years young on Feb 15th.

On Saturday, February 16th, we are asking for support to welcome & greet this Hero as he arrives for his Birthday Lunch with his family at our Philadelphia location.

Let's come out in force to show this local Hero just how much we appreciate all that he has done for us!!

Merlyn always arrives by 11:30, as to never miss the singing of the National Anthem at noon.

I hope that you will be able to join us in giving this Hero a Birthday he will never forget!
Proudly serving those who Serve,

Shannon Sperduto
