Years of Support for Veterans in Alabama

Baumhower’s restaurant’s partnership with the National Veterans Foundation began in 2014 through the “Bob’s Platoon” campaign.

Shad Meshad, the President and Founder of the National Veterans Foundation and Bob Baumhower are both sons of Alabama. Shad Meshad grew up in Birmingham before going off to Vietnam in 1970. After serving he dedicated his life to counseling and advocating for veterans.

In the NFL, he was a five-time Pro Bowler and All-Pro for the Miami Dolphins. He played in two Super Bowls under Coach Don Shula. The first of Baumhower’s restaurants was opened in 1981. He has been in the hospitality industry ever since. The restaurant chain was created to share Bob’s passion for food, sports, and hospitality. Baumhower’s prides itself on being the first to introduce Buffalo wings to the state of Alabama.

“Baumhower’s and Aloha Hospitality are important partners in our work helping veterans,” said NVF President & Founder Shad Meshad.  Bob Baumhower really cares about our troops and our vets and especially relevant is the fact that he demonstrates that every year. His continued support and fundraising efforts are extremely admirable.”
