Not to be confused with the much maligned national charity who wont be named (they are not affiliated). Several routes are available in the Hershey countryside.

We do not pay credit card bills, personal service loans, or direct payments to wounded warriors except in the most unusual circumstances. We do help wounded warriors with home repairs, utility payments, short term rent or mortgage payments, medical bills and medical equipment not covered under current government programs and educational programs to prepare for college under the GI Bill.
While our primary focus is on Pennsylvania Wounded Warriors, we also visit military hospitals and outpatient facilities to thank all wounded warriors for their service. While informing them about our programs, we also use a small portion of our budget to distribute gifts like Pennsylvania foods, Pennsylvania based professional sport team caps and pajamas, iTune Cards, homemade blankets, letters from grade-school students, and our brochures to them. Every small gift has a sticker with our web site on it and the request that if they know a Pennsylvania wounded warrior, to have them contact us. All that we do is at no cost or expense to the veteran. Everyone in our organization is an unpaid volunteer.

Why do I feel like I did these loops as part of a charity ride that benefitted PA state troopers? That was maybe 2007 or so.

I drove one of the loops today and I see there is a Bald Eagle's nest on the course.
