Needed for Drum Hike: Your Community!
Drum Hike is well-underway and Troy is now hiking through Indiana. There are so many easy and fun ways Americans can get involved with helping Troy meet his goal of hiking 7,000 miles across the country to raise money for veterans in need. Local involvement is vital!
Patriotic Americans are needed to...
- March with him for a little bit while he’s in their town
- Attend local MLB or Minor League baseball games where he will be appearing
- Contact local first responders and encourage them to hike or ride with him
- Join Patriot Guard Riders as they welcome him
- Help him plant a tree in memory of a fallen hero
- Alert their local VFW, Scouts, and other community organizations
- Help find a deserving vet for an Extreme Home Makeover along Troy's route (DEADLINE IS MAY 21--click for details!)
- Work with local Angels to set up a “support the troops” event, fundraiser or patriotic rally to greet Troy when he arrives
- And more!
For more activities and all the info on how to get your community involved, including Troy's itinerary, see www.DrumHike.com or email cvink@soldiersangels.org.
Let’s show Troy our support and help him get the visibility he needs to raise $5,000,000 for America’s veterans!

Since my husband is military, people are always telling me they want to do something to give back. Recently I discovered "Soldiers Angels" and all that they do. I will be telling everyone that if they want to make a difference to donate their time or money to this wonderful program. You all are amazing! - Brenda
