Young Hearts 4 Heroes

“You will never know how much it has cost my generation to preserve your freedom. I hope you will make a good use of it.” -John Quincy Adams

In an age where freedom is enjoyed, it is imperative that the next generation grow up learning about and understanding the true cost of how it came to be and the importance of using it to live intentionally.  

Sacred Journey Academy and the Veterans Memorial Honor Guard are joining forces to bring a new event to our community:

Young Hearts for Heroes 

On November 1st, in preparation for Veterans Day, we will host an event at the Alexandria Shooting Park that will unite multiple generations. Young Hearts for Heroes is an effort to bridge the gap in understanding regarding the ongoing sacrifice of our soldiers and their families. Participants will have the opportunity to “march one mile in a soldier’s boots” or run a 5K to honor our veterans. Funds raised will go to the support of programs for both organizations that are passionate about teaching tomorrow’s leaders to honor today’s veterans.
