Vietnam War veteran and two-time Purple Heart Medal recipient Dallas Wittgenfeld stands in his dress uniform for the first time since taking it off after the Vietnam War, with Iraq War veteran Troy Yocum who is currently hiking 7,000 miles across America to raise $5 million for struggling veterans and their families. The ammunition can they are holding is the same can used by Wittgenfeld when he stood on the steps of the Washington Capitol Building with Jan Scruggs, founder of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund, and collected the first donations of $1 million donated to build the Vietnam War Memorial. Yocum now uses the ammunition can to collect donations for his cause while on the road.
