A Marine veteran wounded in the 1984 Beirut U.S. Embassy bombing received a service dog at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, through an initiative supported by ACV Auctions. Rich Leydet, a Purple Heart recipient, has spent years helping other veterans navigate the challenges of combat.

“It opens up the world to me.”

The veteran, to WHIO

He's had a service dog for years, and WHIO talked with him about what a new partner means. “I don’t really like crowds,” he said. Officials say the dog is trained to help support his daily needs.

  • Where: Wright-Patterson Air Force Base
  • Honor: Purple Heart, for the 1984 Beirut embassy bombing
  • Backer: ACV Auctions' efforts to support veterans

Young woman going door to door on Watervliet spreading false information on voting day.

“I'm not sure what her endgame is/who's paying her, but she tried to tell us that Jon Hustead was the Democratic candidate. Lucky for her I was busy parking the car and she talked to my husband! (We'd just gotten back from voting anyway) I don't care what side she's on, that's despicable. If she comes to your door…”
