“It\u2019s an honor to be marching in the Veterans Day Parade with Wounded Warrior Project, an organization dedicated to helping veterans heal and thrive beyond their injuries,\u201d said Rider. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs both an Army veteran and a Beyond Finance client graduate, I see a powerful parallel between fighting for our collective freedom and fighting for our individual financial freedom. While to some people it might seem like the two are miles apart, for those of us who have struggled with substantial debt and just want the opportunity to build a real future, we know different. I\u2019m proud to be representing Beyond Finance on this important and deeply meaningful day.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rider\u2019s wife and fellow Beyond Finance employee Melina Alves Rider, along with their 3-year-old daughter, Alina, joined him in New York to celebrate his participation in the parade.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
