High Five Tour Right Around the Corner

This summer, the Wounded Warriors Family Support Mustang hit the road for the High Five Tour 2014. And on Aug. 28, the tour will come to Monaco Ford in Glastonbury.

During the four month tour, the 2014 Mustang GT500 will travel more than 26,000 miles as it crisscrosses the United States, traveling to more than 60 cities and making stops in 48 states.

Americans of all walks of life are invited and encouraged to show their support for our military families by visiting a stop on the tour and signing the car with a message of support to our country’s veterans and their families.

Through the High Five Tour 2014, Wounded Warriors Family Support has pledged $1,000,000 toward building two “smart homes” for two deserving wounded warriors, Staff Sergeant Jason Ross, USMC and Captain Anthony Simone, USAF and their families in San Diego, California and Joliet, Illinois.

Both of Ross’ legs were taken above his knees and that means he will never walk again. Simone suffered a severe brain injury he sustained after his helicopter was shot down in Afghanistan. Both of these young men need specially designed “smart homes” so they can have a quality of life that we take for granted.

We need your help to meet our goal. The road to recovery can be a long and difficult struggle for our nation’s wounded warriors and their families.

Every donation, large or small, is deeply appreciated and helps meet the goal of making these “smart homes” more than just a set of blueprints.

The 3^rd annual car show will be held from 5 p.m. until 8 p.m. and the staff at Monaco Ford is asking that you use the side entrance at 30 Oak St. in Glastonbury.

All vehicles are welcome and Monaco Ford is asking for a $10 donation per vehicle (including passengers) and for a $5 donation per spectator. Your donation includes food and drinks.

At the event, you’ll also get a sneak peek at the 2015 Ford Mustang. There will be a 50/50 raffle and tickets will be sold by the ladies of the Tilted Kilt. Plus, there will be a special surprise for the ladies.
