“On behalf of AR Capital and our affiliated companies, we are honored to support Sea To Shining Sea. The exceptional accomplishments of these real-life American heroes serve to inspire us all,” said Nicholas S.

Located at the corner of ‘Main and Main’ throughout America, our buildings house well-known national retailers who provide essential goods and services to all Americans. All of us at AR Capital joined this Memorial Day to honor all veterans and remember that, ‘Freedom is never free.’”

“We're honored that AR Capital chose to support our effort to recognize the rider for both their sacrifice and resiliency,” said Tyler. “Their support has enabled a group of proud wounded warriors to see the country they so valiantly defended.”
