One Man’s mission is to raise awareness and funds for Veterans and First Responders.

SANDY, UT, UNITED STATES, June 14, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ --

Starting May 23, 2023, and ending 65 days later, July 26, 2023, a retired Marine Corps Veteran and Law Enforcement officer having served 36 years in uniform has taken on a new mission to drive from San Francisco to New York in a restored open top 1952 Korean War Willys Jeep known as “Little Glory.” All proceeds from this drive are to raise awareness for Tunnel to Towers (T2T). Their programs pay the mortgages for the families of military and first responders with children who have died in the line of duty. T2T's home mortgage program also builds and provides free smart homes for our catastrophically wounded veterans and first responders. T2T has expanded its giving in a new national program aimed at eradicating homelessness by providing housing and services to Veterans who are homeless across all 50 states.

This drive will honor American history, our veterans, and first responders while remembering the victims 9/11 by following the route of the first person ever to drive an automobile across the USA. Colonel Horatio Nelson Jackson was a decorated WWI veteran who made this drive on the exact dates 120 years ago, in 1903. He is one of the founding fathers of the American Legion and one who stood for the love of country and service to us all. You may read more about the drive here: History drive and route.
