Freedom 4 Heroes

🇺🇸❤️ RED FRIDAY | NATIONAL MILITARY APPRECIATION MONTH ❤️🇺🇸

Today marks the first day of May—National Military Appreciation Month—and the first RED Friday of the month.🎗️🎗️🎗️🎗️🎗️🎗️

Today, we don’t just wear red…
We stand in unwavering gratitude.

We remember the brave men and women who wake up in places far from home, carrying the weight of our freedom on their shoulders.
We honor the families who hold down the fort, fighting silent battles of their own.
We recognize the sacrifices—seen and unseen—that make our everyday lives possible.

Freedom isn’t free.
It’s earned. Defended. Sacrificed for.

So today, and every Friday, we wear RED to say loud and clear:
👉🏽 You are not forgotten.
👉🏽 You are not alone.
👉🏽 We stand with you.

To our deployed heroes, our veterans, and their families—
Thank you will never be enough, but we will never stop saying it.

❤️ R.E.D. – Remember Everyone Deployed ❤️
Until they all come home.

Tomorrow this guy (Ryan) will be walking up Leheup Hill (Ft King Rd) to practice his walk across America to raise money/awareness for veterans. He reached out and asked if anyone would like to join this 4 mile trial walk. He is born in raised in this area and is taking advantage of the hill terrain to train for the “walk” on Sept 21. He said it will take over a year to complete. Please follow his links or social media for more info or sponsorship ops.

This Saturday, come on out and join us for a pancake and sausage breakfast at Crystal Harley-Davidson! Look forward to seeing you!
