Summer 2011 – Homes for Our Troops Tour II
I’m heading out for my second tour for Homes for Our Troops tomorrow. The plan is to cover about 3,000 miles on my way to do some work in Los Angeles and to continue to raise funds for Homes for our Troops along the way.
Thank you to everyone that generously donated during my first trip in 2009. That was an amazing ride and I met some incredible veterans and individuals along the way. The trip took me across the central and western sections of the US and I was able to see some beautiful national and state parks. Start reading from the bottom of this blog to see some details, photos, and video from that trip.
“People ask me… “Why this cause?”
I’m not a veteran but my father served our country. I think we each can make an impact by just jumping in and doing something… right here, right now. I have a tremendous respect and appreciation for the sacrifices that our veterans make every day for our country. I heard about how this charity helps our most severely injured veterans by providing barrier-free homes. My research shows they continue to have a four-star rating by Charity Navigator. I chose them because I believe in this cause, because I have been blessed with the ability to help by God, and because it’s a small way to say Thank You to these men and woman for what they do for me and you.

Come back often for blog updates for this trip each day. Spread the word and help me reach my goal!
