SHALLOW BOAT JOURNEY TO MAKE DEEP
IMPACT FOR MILITARY HEROES:
Brothers Stop in NYC During Record-Breaking 48-Day,
6,200-Mile Trans-Atlantic Trip

NEW YORK CITY, July 8, 2009 – Marine veteran Ralph and his brother, Robert, arrived in New York City this week on their historic 48-day, 6,200-mile trans-Atlantic voyage from Tampa, Fla., to Hamburg, Germany in a 21-foot open fishing boat. The I Am Second Wounded Hero Voyage Crossing the Atlantic Presented by Interstate Batteries is a unique high-seas adventure that fulfills a 29-year promise to three of Ralph’s fellow fallen comrades. Powered by Interstate Batteries, its purpose is to raise financial support for wounded hero charities and awareness of the iamsecond.com movement. The Brown’s voyage embodies the selflessness and courage that comes when an individual prioritizes faith and God’s calling for life.
