On Saturday, September 7, 2013, bikers came out to support Healing 4 Heroes in their 3rd annual "Rollin' for Heroes" Remembrance Ride in Newnan, GA.
We happened along at the end for the fun side of the event. Listening to the great band and participating in the raffle for the prizes was a treat for all the participants and their families.
Mike Quinn, a local Newnan Vietnam Vet, urges others to get involved with Healing 4 Heroes as the veterans with PTSD need our help and support.
Shanon Clay of Williamson, GA, commented she is proud to support Healing 4 Heroes in their mission to help wounded veterans through training and supplying of service dogs for all their individual needs. In addition, she encourages others to support our troops, support their families as our heroes are important to us.
Healing 4 Heroes is a nonprofit group based in Peachtree City whose mission is to train and place psychiatric service dogs to veterans with PTSD. What makes this group so special is they train shelter dogs to become companions to the vets. The dogs are trained to assist the veterans with up to seven tasks.
What can we say? Saving two lives just touches our heart.
