Several active-duty military personnel were on-hand to celebrate the partnership between Daniels / The Journey Home Project and Mike Harmon Racing.
“It was a complete honor having The Journey Home Project and Charlie Daniels aboard this past weekend honoring our nations heroes,” adds Harmon. “Eight members of the HSM-60 Jaguars along with Sgt.
