Supervisor Todd Spitzer spoke at the America Ride and Music Festival on the importance of supporting our Veterans who have sacrificed to ensure freedom. He also rode in the motorcycle ride.
According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, 22 American veterans take their own lives each and every day, suffering from Post-traumatic Stress Disorders, brain injuries and other physical handicaps from serving our country. The Patriotic Service Dog Foundation is dedicated to providing service dogs to veterans in an effort to reduce this statistic from 22 to 0. |
