“We’ve sent more than 300 kids and vets to Mavs games,” Walker said. “We’re not talking about nosebleed seats either. We’re talking $200 tickets.”
Walker’s attorney, Lee Merritt, said his meeting Walker has been an amazing roller-coaster ride of an experience. Merritt said Walker has always pushed to make something good come out of the Chili’s incident.
Walker and Merritt said they hope to hold a similar event early next year for Fort Worth veterans.
“It’s been a very rough season for them,” Merritt said of homeless veterans. “They’ve talked about trying to stay warm, trying to find jobs. We’re using some of our funds to try to expand some of the already existing programs, like the ones that supply veterans with interview attire. The truth is this experience has caused me to look at veterans in a whole different light.”
