Harley Raffle To Honor Soldier
FOX 28 South Bend
A Michiana business honors a fallen soldier by offering up a piece of Americana.
Hoosier Harley Davidson in Elkhart will be giving away two Harley Motorcycle's in April.
One will be raffled off to the public to help set up a scholarship fund.
The other will be given to a returning Marine from Engineering Company B out of South Bend.
The store is doing this in honor of Corporal Aaron Seal of Elkhart who was killed in Iraq.
Aaron was a member of Company B and a big Harley Davidson fan.
David Dunn handling Raffle Promotions says, "Aaron always wanted a Fatboy. He was talking about buying a Fatboy when he came home from Iraq. I just think it's awesome they're going to give one away to one of the Marines. A piece of him will be with somebody else, too."
Raffle tickets cost $50 and they hope to sell 2,000.
The winner's name will be drawn on April 14th at a special family day held for the returning Marines of Company B at the St. Joseph 4H County Fairgrounds.
They will also present the 2nd Harley to one of the Marines on that day.
