FDL Veteran
Receives a Harley

 

Retired
Army Sargent Dan Tinsley of Fond du Lac was given the keys to a Harley Davidson
Motorcycle on Saturday thanks to a Wisconsin based charity. Hogs for Heroes
made the presentation to Tinsley at Open Road Harley Davidson in Fond du Lac Saturday
afternoon. Hogs for Heroes raises money to help injured Wisconsin
veterans buy a motorcycle. Tinsley served in Iraq and was injured during battle.
He received a purple heart for his service. He returned to Fond du Lac and has been involved with
several veterans causes locally, namely Salute the Troops. Tinsley spoke at the
ceremony about his love for riding motorcycles and how motorcycles can provide
an escape from the day to day challenges that inured veterans face after they
return. KFIZ’s Spencer Wagen had a chance to talk to Tinsley one-on-one. You
can hear the full interview on Monday’s breakfast club.
