The hospitalized veterans at Tampa's James A. Haley VA, like many Americans on this Memorial Day, will be able to munch on burgers and hotdogs at a good old-fashioned barbecue thanks to members of the Tampa law firm of Foley & Lardner LLP.
Upon learning that the Haley VA had to cancel the barbecue for about 150 veterans because their sponsor dropped out, the firm agreed to step up and cover the cost.
Attorney Chris Griffin contacted WUSF to say members of the firm were "passing the hat" so that the hospitalized veterans could enjoy a holiday barbecue.
