Massachusetts Ford Dealer Stoneham Ford Contributes to High Five Tour

STONEHAM, Mass. -- This summer, Colonel John Folsom, United States Marine Corps (retired) embarked on an important mission. Setting out in a 2011 Shelby Mustang GT500, Colonel Folsom plans to meet as many Americans as possible to thank them for their support of military families and raise funds for the mission of Wounded Warriors Family Support (http://woundedwarriorsfamilysupport.org/). Folsom’s organization helps families of soldiers who have been wounded, injured or killed during combat operations.

The High Five Tour is making its way across the country and visiting Ford dealerships like Stoneham Ford, which will be making a $2,000 contribution to the organization’s fundraising efforts during its Boston-area stop on Thursday, June 30^th.

“We are thrilled to have Colonel Folsom visit our dealership during his drive through Massachusetts,” said Alan Melkonian, owner and general manager of Stoneham Ford. “We have enormous respect for what he is trying to accomplish. The brave men and women of our armed services need our support and so do their families, so we are pleased to have this opportunity to give a little something back to them.”

“I am grateful for Ford’s support of the tour and for Stoneham Ford’s donation,” said Colonel John Folsom. “Soldiers and their families need our help to cope with the physical, psychological and spiritual stress that war causes. With generous donations like this, we can continue our mission.”

The High Five Tour will be visiting Stoneham Ford around noon this Thursday. For additional information on the High Five Tour, visit: http://www.highfivetour.com/.
