OIADA - The Ohio Independent Auto Dealers Association

As US Troops return from Iraq, no welcome home parade is planned. Over 6,000 families have lost a Father, Mother, Son, Daughter, Brother, Sister, Aunt, Uncle, Niece or Nephew and once again many of these families who are left to financially fend for themselves suffer daily because of the loss of someone that they loved died defending our great country and our nations freedom.

I have heard it said, "but they volunteered and knew what they were getting into". The fact is this is true. However, what this individual failed to realize is that the families of these brave American soldiers who died for their love of our country, in a land thousands of miles away, didn’t volunteer to have their loved ones suffer the "ultimate sacrifice". The sad truth is that most of these families will suffer financial setbacks as a result of our "Sacrifice".

The OIADA has been blessed over the years to have had so many members join our organization and in recognizing a great need across our country we would like to do our Patriotic Duty in helping these brave families. In October of 2011 I received a call from Mark Reis, a music industry professional as they say, and a plan was born. We at the OIADA are proudly inviting everyone to "Celebrate Your American Spirit", honor those who serve and remember all who have fallen.

Mark has donated three guitars to the OIADA:

One autographed by legendary guitarist and Rock Hall of Fame Inductee, Joe Walsh of the Eagles.

One autographed by The Red Rocker guitarist & lead vocalist Sammy Hagar and his group the Wabos.

One autographed by four time winner of "Entertainer of the Year" and Grammy Winner Kenny Chesney.

All three of these "Collector Guitars", complete with letters of authenticity, will be raffled off in an effort to raise money for the OIADA PAC Fund and the "Our Sacrifice" Charity which was formed to provide support to those families who have suffered as a result of the ultimate sacrifice.

Now is your opportunity to aid two wonderful organizations, support military families and have a chance to win one or all three collector guitars worth thousands of dollars each. Tickets go on sale immediately for $5.00 each or 5 for $20.00. The winner need not be present and will be announced on August 10, 2012 at the OIADA Golf Tournament.
