Bob Sanders left Central Oregon Veterans Outreach Memorial Day riding his bicycle to the Iwo Jima Memorial in Washington DC.

Next Thursday 8/21 from 4 - 6 PM we will host a reception for Bob here at COVO to thank him for everything he has done for COVO, and ask him to share first hand the stories of his travel across country.
