Harley-Davidson dealership honors veterans

The Naples Harley-Davidson Korean War ride and event on Nov. 7 was a success, bringing the community together in celebration of our Veterans. Special guest speaker retired Gen. Frederick M. Franks, Jr. addressed the crowd recounting his nearly 36 years of active Army experience. As decorated soldier, he was awarded the Silver Star Medal, Distinguished Flying Cross, Bronze Star, Air Medal and Purple Heart.
