Wolf cheers, "Go Emmie & Troy! " With his dog "Emmie" by his side, Troy Yocum, an Iraq War Veteran, is hiking 7,000 miles across America banging his drum as part of Hike for Heroes in an effort to raise $5 million to help military families in need.   Troy and Emmie, the FiveSibes and their Hu-family proudly support you and applaud you in your efforts for this great cause!
