This is an event for all people to experience what it is like to do the 10-mile march that the military do all the time to help our returning vets. This year on March 28th.
Ever wonder what our service men and women go through. The Nearly Naked Ruck March is the end of this month and can show you exactly how it feels. The big picture with all of this is to take care of those in service as they integrate.
I had the honor of volunteering to sell those cute little red poppy flowers that are traditional seen in May. They are called a “buddy” poppy and the money collected through donations during poppy day, May 4 are used to assist the needy and disabled veterans, their families, widows and orphans of veterans. Here is a bit of background and why you should support this worthy cause.
The Nearly Naked Ruck March resembles what service people do on their march. They do way more than 10 miles, and their pack carries what they will sleep with, eat, drink, clothing, and other things they will need at their location. This Ruck is the civilian version.
I can't begin to understand the sacrifice that the men and women who serve our country must have to make or the sacrifices their family makes. Everyone is encouraged to sign and send a card to a wounded vet or service person, and here's how.
Kiss is looking for a few good men. Or just one good man. Actually it could be a woman too. The rockers — who’ve long been supporters of the men and women in the U.S. military — are looking to hire a veteran to join their road crew when they hit the road with Motley Crue in July.
“I thought I was going to catch the ball or go over the railing,” said Michael Kacer of the foul ball he caught at Yankee Stadium Friday.
The 29-year old vet had lost his left arm in Afghanistan, so he had nothing to brace himself with when he used his baseball cap as a glove and reached over the railing to snag a ball off of the bat of Curtis Granderson.
