Random Soapbox for Saturday 9/7/13

I don't mean to go off on a rave here, but ...

Three cheers and a huzzah to the HighFiveTour, something about which I learned whilst getting a haircut (as SportsClips is a partner).

After completing my own Quest this weekend driving through four states and hitting three cities and dipping my toes in two Great Lakes (more about that in tomorrow's post), I thought I'd highlight *another* road trip currently underway that has much less selfish motives behind it.

Specifically ... "The Wounded Warriors Family Support High Five Tour is a 48 state road trip covering 60 cities and 21,000 miles to show appreciation for our country's military and to raise funds to build two 'smart homes' for deserving wounded warriors and their families."

And since this week we're headed into decision making mode that could potentially involve increasing the number of Wounded Warriors (should the Armageddon Pre-Show kick off as planned, let's hope, at the very least, there will be no "boots on the ground"), now's a good a time as any to remind us all of the consequences of the business of war.

To find out more, to see the map to know when the trip hits your state city, and to donate to these efforts, see the link below ... and "hip hip hip huzzah" to the worthy cause!
