Heroes Haven hosts veteran at Nationwide race

DOVER — Heroes Haven is dedicated to helping wounded veterans re-acclimate to normal life. The organization typically takes interested men and women hunting or fishing and hosts an annual banquet for them.

This weekend, however, it’s doing something new.

With the aid of Ken Adams, president of Melvin L. Joseph Construction Co., the group was able to sponsor a former soldier and treat him to a special tour of Dover International Speedway and a prime seat for Saturday’s Nationwide race.

Charles Harris, of Cumberland, Md., said he had gotten to know Heroes Havens president Raymond Edwards in previous hunting trips, and when Mr. Edwards invited him to the race, he was interested.

“Growing up, I watched it with my dad, and then I kind of fell out of it when I joined the Army, and now I’m getting back into it,” Mr. Harris said.
