WHAT:            The Chick-fil-A(R) restaurant, located at 996 West Highway 287
Bypass, will host a send-off celebration in support of fallen servicemen and
women on May 30 at 10 a.m.  The event will kick off Walter R. E. Coleman's walk
across the state to support his organization - Texas Fallen Heroes - and its
mission to build a monument in Texas to honor American military personnel who
gave their lives in Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom.
The restaurant will donate $1 per customer on May 30 to the organization and a
donation jar will be set up if customers choose to make additional donations.
Present at the send-off will be members from the Patriot Riders, Ellis County
Honor Flight, the National Guard, Waxahachie Police Department and Waxahachie
Fire Department.  The community is invited to attend to wish Coleman well on his
journey.
"We are proud to support Texas Fallen Heroes and its mission to honor those
killed overseas," said Philip Browne, franchise Operator of the restaurant.  "We
look forward to this important event and we invite the Waxahachie community to
join us for a delicious meal and to support a great cause."
