Let us all step away from the keyboard and take a few deep breaths for a minute.
Going on 2 1/2 years, Fran O'Brien's Stadium Steakhouse has provided free meals to physically-wounded recovering vets. Not Capital Hilton, but Fran O'Brien's Stadium Steakhouse, a tenant on their property.
As noble of men both Marty O'Brien and Hal Koster are, it does NOT involve the Capital Hilton. Hilton is just the landlord and not a co-sponsor of a tenant's pet-project.
Hilton has the RIGHT to choose however they wish to assign/allocate/use their property. Who are WE to damn them for not conceding to our will?
Big corporations have no heart. They only answer to their shareholders and lust for profit. Hilton Corp got stuck, but only for a moment, by the misconceptions of us. Sure, they will toss a little bone here and there-- whatever it takes to shore up their image. But big corporations don't "care" about anything but money-- nor do their shareholders.
To close, a hat-tip to Marty O'Brien and Hal Koster. The good guys.
