We are proud to share that our very own board member, Ralph Galati, has been named one of Evan Williams Bourbon's 2025 American-Made Heroes — a well-deserved recognition for a lifetime of service both in uniform and in our community. 🇺🇸

As part of this incredible program, Evan Williams has generously donated $5,000 to the Delaware County Veterans Memorial Association in Ralph’s honor. We are deeply grateful for their ongoing commitment to Veterans and their support of our mission to honor and educate. We scored some pretty sweet swag too which we shared today at the Flag Day Celebration!
