New London to Host High Five Tour this Weekend, Support Military Families

NEW LONDON, CT – The seventh annual Wounded Warriors Family Support High Five Tour will soon roll into New London, according to a release.

The event will take place Sunday, Aug. 14 at Mike's Famous Harley-Davidson from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.

During the five-month tour, Wounded Warriors Family Support’s 2016 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350, wrapped in a patriotic design, will travel more than 26,000 miles. The result will be a trek to 100-plus cities in 48 states.

The High Five Tour’s mission is to say “thank you” and show appreciation to military families for their sacrifices. The tour’s goal is to raise $1 million, which will sustain Wounded Warriors Family Support’s programs to support combat wounded veterans and their families.

During a tour stop, residents are encouraged to sign the vehicle with a message of gratitude to our country’s veterans and families.

“The High Five Tour is the quintessential road trip where we thank Americans from all across our great country for their appreciation and support of our nation’s military families for the sacrifices they make when America goes to war,” said WWFS founder and president John Folsom. “Every donation, large or small, is deeply appreciated and helps us meet our goal of making these programs a reality for the many deserving veterans and their families.”
