Today, on the fourth anniversary of my father's passing, I'll mention a<br>
project that would have interested him, that I read about in his VFW<br>
magazine that he's still getting. Although he served in Korea and Greenland<br>
(and in the Canal Zone and Puerto Rico) those were all peacetime tours,<br>
so I'm not sure how he qualifies as a veteran of a foreign war, unless they<br>
count the Cold War.<br>
<br>
Nowadays we have plenty of hot wars and plenty of veterans coming back from<br>
them, many in pretty bad physical or psychological shape. The Warrior<br>
Hike project<br>
<br>
<a href="http://warriorhike.com/" target="_blank">http://warriorhike.com/</a><br>
<br>
follows in the steps of Earl Shaffer to help returning veterans transition<br>
back to peacetime. The article I read was in the March 2014 issue of<br>
VFW magazine, which does not seem to be online yet, but will probably appear<br>
eventually at<br>

When I mentioned this on the Pacific Crest Trail mailing list,<br>
I got these other related links:<br>

Granville Hough would have enjoyed hearing about and<br>
supporting such programs. Some of our happiest memories are of hiking<br>
between the High Sierra Camps in Yosemite National Park with Grampa and<br>
his grandchildren Susanna and Kendrick. If the next generation arrives<br>
in time, I hope to do the same with them... I'm about the same age my<br>
father was when we started our Yosemite trips.<br>
