Iraqi War vet Troy Yocum arrives in Times Square
Having walked nearly 34 million steps

Retired World Series champion Kevin Millar is rarely speechless, but on a segment of his MLB Network "Intentional Talk" show last week Millar said he was overwhelmed by the heroism shown by Iraq War veteran Troy Yocum.

For the last 12 months Yocum has been banging his own personal drum and quietly drawing attention to America's military families in need. He has walked over 6,000 miles and nearly 34 million steps across the United States in that time.

He is walking with his wife Mareike and two dogs Harley the laughing Chihuahua and Emmie the energetic Shiba Inu. Their "Hike for Our Heroes," has raised nearly $500,000 for military families in trouble because of job losses, health problems and financial need.

The goal is $5 million.
