Honoring Our Heroes YEDA Show

January 9, 2024 By Molly

This past Saturday, January 7th, the Champions Center in Springfield, Ohio was filled with gratitude and admiration during the Honoring Our Heroes YEDA Show. As part of this event, YEDA organized a special parade dedicated to our nation’s heroes. ❤🤍💙
The highlight of the show was our collaboration with Finally Home Farm – Equine Therapies for Veterans to host an Honor Ride for military veterans; a gesture to express our deepest appreciation for the incredible individuals who have served and continue to serve the United States of America. ❤🤍💙
A heartfelt thank you to all who dedicate their lives to protect and serve our nation. We hope you enjoy the highlights from this event. 🙏 ❤🤍💙
