Why do we ride?We ride to support our combat veterans and to raise funds for Boulder Crest Retreat, a therapeutic and wellness facility for combat veterans and their families.
After sixteen years of continuous war in Afghanistan and Iraq, our combat veterans, many of whom have deployed multiple times, and their families are paying a terrific price for their service to the nation. Boulder Crest Retreat, located in Bluemont Virginia in the foothills of the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, provides the ideal environment to enable combat veterans and their families to recover, rest, recharge, and reconnect. In support of Boulder Crest Retreat’s mission to turn “struggle into strength,” the 12 VFW Posts of the central Shenandoah Valley are sponsoring the Valley Veterans Ride for Heroes bicycle ride event on September 7, 2019. |
