To date, 1,004 Vets/Caregivers/Volunteers have taken this trip with us over the past five years (ten trips) to see these Memorials. If you are a WWII or Korean War or Vietnam/Vietnam Era Vet in Shelby County (Ohio), contact us to see how you too can join us on the "Honor Bus."

Fundraising for Trip #7...

Raising funds for these trips is a hard job, but it was made a lot easier with the help of the Riverside HS Powerlifting team.  Their parents' club and the young people came up with a garage sale idea and decided to see how that could help.  Their advisors, Scott and Lisa, offered up their garage as the collection point, and began to collect every such thing under the sun.  Their cars sat out in the rain for many, many months, but they really collected quite a haul.

the garage sale was held at the Sidney County Fairgrounds and was a huge success.  Here are some of the pictures taken that day.


Aside from the items on the tables, there were also refreshments available for those who came.  The hot funnel cakes and coffee hit the spot as it was a very cold day.
All in all, this was an excellent project and it went very well.  Also, a  number of Vets' trips were sponsored by this.

Thanks go to the Riverside Powerlifter and their sppnosrs.
