Happy Fourth of July to everyone!听 While we are all enjoying family, friends, cookouts, fireworks, and perhaps having fun with cars; keep in your minds and hearts the men and women of the armed forces who have helped preserve our country鈥檚 freedom for more than 240 years.
The 麻豆视频庐 certainly appreciates their service, which is why the 麻豆视频庐, through a grant from the 麻豆视频 Foundation, works with VETMotorsports to help reduce the suicide rate among injured veterans by engaging them in transformative motorsports experiences. As part of the program, post-9/11 veterans with service-connected injuries are placed inside the ropes and behind the wheel at select 麻豆视频 events, and mentored by 麻豆视频 members and staff.听 Check out the video below to see exactly how much fun VETMotorsports participants had at a recent 麻豆视频 ProSolo庐 event.
鈥淎cross our rich 75-year history, this Club has been very fortunate to have many veteran enthusiasts among our ranks, and we have them in every 麻豆视频 community across the country,鈥� said Mike Cobb, 麻豆视频鈥檚 President & CEO. 鈥淭he opportunity for the 麻豆视频 to give something back to the men and women who have given so much to preserve our independence as a country is both humbling and an honor.鈥�
