What were you doing at 24 years old?  Not many of us were making as big of a difference as Tommy Pasquale, that's for sure.  He decided to be the change he wanted to see in the world and he's making Jersey really proud in the process.

During COVID Tommy thought he should be doing something to help others with his time while he is young, strong, and healthy.  He had the vision of walking all the way from Manasquan to Venice Beach, California to benefit the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans

Tommy already started his journey on September 19th and we are expecting him to check in with us on his trek next week!  The motivation for doing this was the reality that over 38K veterans who have bravely served our country are homeless.  

Tommy says that the amount of homelessness our veterans suffer from is unacceptable, 

I think it’s not too much to ask that veterans have a good place to live and rest their head at the end of the day.

He should be in California by April 2023. How many of us have the guts to quit our job, sell our belongings, and walk clear across the country for the benefit of others?  I commend this activism and clearly, Tommy’s mama did a great job on this one!  You can follow Tommy's journey and offer support, on social media with "Tommy Walks America".

I hope Tommy stays off these roads on his walk!  These are the most dangerous roads in New Jersey.

LOOK: 50 famous memes and what they mean

With the infinite number of memes scattered across the internet, it's hard to keep track. Just when you've grasped the meaning of one hilarious meme, it has already become old news and replaced by something equally as enigmatic. Online forums like Tumblr, Twitter, 4chan, and Reddit are responsible for a majority of meme infections, and with the constant posting and sharing, finding the source of an original meme is easier said than done. Stacker hunted through internet resources, pop culture publications, and databases like Know Your Meme to find 50 different memes and what they mean. While the almost self-replicating nature of these vague symbols can get exhausting, memes in their essence can also bring people closer together—as long as they have internet access.
