Hogs and Heroes Foundation
The other day I was filming the troops coming home at the Salisbury National Guard Armory and I met a few members of the Hogs and Heroes Foundation. At first sight I thought that they were a regular biker club. But after talking to them I learned that they were a special kind of biker gang. The Hogs and Heroes foundation was formed in October 2010 in Laurel, MD to support public safety, U.S. Military and Wounded Warriors. So they support many different groups (Police
Officers, Firefighters, Emergency Medical Workers, Members of the
Military killed in combat Operations and the U.S. Military Veterans). They perform Honors missions for those personnel as well as host fundraisers. Hogs and Heroes participate in fun rides and help out other charitable organizations. I spoke with Michael "Sandman" Sandoe the Road Captain and Event Coordinator who told me what they are about and I have to say they are admirable. They can seem intimidating at first because they look like a biker gang but when you meet them, they give you a warm welcome. This is a great group of bikers and I suggest to all who support public safety, U.S. Military, Veterans, Police, Firefighters and Emergency Medical Workers to check these guys out.
