The Windhaven Ride for Veterans second annual event will take place Aug. 26. Proceeds support the Windhaven Veterans Program, which provides equine-assisted therapy to veterans with PTSD free of charge.
The ride for veterans, which includes motorcycles, classic cars and hotrods, will start at the ilani Casino and end at Amboy’s Territorial Park.

The release adds that there are 32,800 veterans in Clark County, 12.9 % of whom may be experiencing PTSD.
