Together with Sears Heroes at Home and nonprofit Rebuilding Together, the tour visited more than 20 locations nationwide and traveled 10,000 miles, participating in local restoration projects and renovating homes of U.S. veterans, including one house in Moonachie, N.J. that was devastated by Superstorm Sandy and the Sturgis Veterans' Club in Sturgis, S.D. The tour culminated in August.
