Save a Veteran-Owned Restaurant

The Patriot Grill is a veteran-themed restaurant in Oshkosh, Nebraska. The chef and owner, Ryan Martinez, is a veteran of the US Army. He served in the 82nd Airborne Division, serving multiple special operation tours in Central and South America. He and his wife Dana now run a small grill in Western Nebraska. They have become a staple in the community, offering free meals to other vets in need. They keep the grill on during Thanksgiving to feed anyone who has nowhere to go for the special holiday. They opened their doors 5 years ago and have been giving back to the community ever since. Between donating to local teenagers' college funds and always contributing to local food drives, they are true givers that really care about community and country. The restaurant also serves as an outreach center, offering drug and alcohol counseling services to those in need. Ryan Martinez is my father. One thing that I admire about my dad is he keeps his food prices low even though his food is second to none. Their motto is “Fair pricing so they always know they have somewhere they can eat.”

Unfortunately, The Patriot Grill is now in a tough spot. Due to inflation and rising food prices, they have fallen behind on bills. They have finally been forced to raise prices to keep up with inflation. Their reluctance to raise prices and their giving nature has put them in a pickle. They need Twenty-Five thousand dollars to catch up on bills and get through this difficult time.

They have been giving back for as long as I can remember. They have made an impact on so many around them. Just as they are absolute givers, they also do not know how to ask for help, so I am doing it for them. Please help this small patriotic business, the same way they have been helping others for so long.
