We’re excited to welcome Sergeant Rick Yarosh of Sweethearts & Heroes for a series of presentations at our schools. Sgt. Yarosh is retired from the U.S. Army and has written an illustrated children’s book, A Bridge Named Amos. A Bridge Named Amos tells the true, inspiring story of his late hero and service dog, Amos, and their life-changing bond.

In addition to the presentations to our schools, Sgt. Yarosh will also be holding a community meet-and-greet event at Key Chevrolet of Newport, NH, on May 11, starting at 3:30 p.m. The event is free and open to the public and veterans and students are encouraged to attend.
