2010 Harley's Heroes Tour Visits Mountain Creek Harley-Davidson

Tuesday, August 31, 2010

Military veterans in North Georgia can receive free counseling and assistance with their government benefits when the 2010 Harley’s Heroes Tour comes to the Mountain Creek Harley-Davidson dealership on Saturday, from 11 a.m.-4 p.m.

The 2010 Harley’s Heroes Tour will include stops throughout the U.S. including over 175 Harley-Davidson dealerships where benefits assistance will be offered to veterans of all ages in communities where they live.

The mission of Harley’s Heroes, made possible with the help of a $1 million grant from the Harley-Davidson Foundation to Disabled American Veterans, is to provide assistance in obtaining benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs for all veterans and to show appreciation for their service and sacrifice to our country.

While on the 2010 tour, DAV National Service Officers will provide benefits counseling to those veterans who suffer from service-connected injuries but may have never filed a claim for benefits or have found it difficult working with the VA.

For more information about this event or for future events at Mountain Creek Harley-Davidson, call 706 370-7433.

Mountain Creek Harley-Davidson is located at 1001 Market St, Dalton, Ga.
