Our goal is to raise the needed $5 million for these families!
Troy will carry with him a custom Louisville Slugger Bat that he hopes to get signed by Mayors, Governors, and people of importance in-order to get a National Day for Deployed Soldiers.
Troy will also plant signs in the ground of the towns he crosses in honor of local heroes who have fallen. Soon to come is Honor Base and Highways of Honor.
