Hey guys! It’s almost 1 AM and I’ve still got some work to finish up before I get some sleep but I just wanted to share a really touching moment with you guys. We are on a tight schedule for this trip and it leaves very little margin for error or getting side tracked but that is exactly what we did today.
While traveling through Kansas City, MO we received a phone call from a soldier’s mother who was asking us to stop off an visit her son. He had been wounded recently and suffered from burns over 66% of his body. The Colonel jumped at the chance to help this family and we changed directions and headed to Menorah Medical Center in Overland Park, KS.
Getting to meet this soldier was a fantastic experience. He was in great spirits and was very grateful that we we’re able to spend some time with him and his family. He was even so kind to help the High Five Tour with our mission and take one of our 20,000 high fives. I promised him that we would get his picture up on the tour site as quickly as possible and it made it’s rounds today on MilitaryMonday on Twitter. I also wanted to share it with you guys.
I’ll see you guys on the road.

Can I add my High Five?
Absolutely!
Is there anyway we can send this hero an e-mail to say “Thank you” for his contribution to peace on Earth?
We gave him tons of support and I told him where he could find this page so I’m sure he’s seen it! Thanks!
