Local Heroes

There is some amazing work being done in Canal Fulton and Massillon, Ohio!  

Scott Wynn and I had the honor of going out to present a delicious lunch from Mr. Hero - Home of the One and Only Romanburger to Serving Area Military, Veterans, and Widows - SAM Center.   We met Brian and a group of VETS and volunteers that were so gracious.  Lucia gave Scott and I a tour of the facility and explained all the help they provide to our Veterans and Community.  Follow them on socials and if you know someone who needs their services and there at many...
