Annual Wounded Warrior Project’s Soldier Ride Kicks Off in Manhattan


Kicking off the annual Wounded Warrior Project’s Soldier Ride, the CEO of the Wounded Warrior Project and veteran Ltg. Michael Linnington along with veteran Csm. Tonya Oxendine joined FOX and Friends to share why this event and organization is so important. 

Linnington shared that the Soldier Ride started eighteen years ago when a local resident wanted to ride coast to coast to raise awareness for wounded veterans coming back from Iraq and Afghanistan. Since then, it has grown into the great event it is today because of all the support they have received.
