GREEN BAY A Green Bay man was among three Wisconsin veterans to receive a Harley Davidson motorcycle through the 2023 Hogs for Heroes program.<\/p>\n
Injured U.S. Army Veteran Paul Kruse, of Green Bay, was able to select a bike from Docs Harley-Davidson in Bonduel, along with U.S. Marine Veteran Tim Bahr of Crandon and fellow Army Veteran Mike Erickson of Oconto.<\/p>\n
The keys were presented to the three veterans during a ceremony on May 6 in Bonduel.<\/p>\n
This is the seventh year that the program has gifted motorcycles to Wisconsin veterans, putting 34 bikes in the hands of those who were injured while serving.<\/p>\n
Hogs for Heroes was created in 2014, fundraising began in 2015 and the first motorcycle was gifted in 2016.<\/p>\n
Nine bikes were presented to the states veterans in 2022.<\/p>\n
Thats nine more lives fractured in service that will regain peace, freedom and control from riding, the organization explained.<\/p>\n
Riding is an alternative therapy and our gifts are the tools by which one gains its healing benefits.<\/p>\n
