🇺🇸 To raise awareness of veteran suicides, military veterans from Auburn and Alabama will put down their rivalry and pick up their packs to once again, march 151 miles from Tuscaloosa to Auburn. Each participant will be carrying 22 lbs. of food, gloves, socks and toiletries* to represent the (average) 22 veteran suicides committed every day in Alabama. 

Operation Iron Ruck will begin Wednesday at 0730 on the field of Bryant-Denny Stadium and will end Saturday on the field of Jordan-Hare Stadium. 

Members of the wardamnveterans and the uacva are partnering with Alabama's Challenge, an official program of the Alabama Department of Veterans Affairs designed to help combat the veteran suicide epidemic in our state.

🧤 🧦 🥫 *This year, contents of the ruck sacks will be donated to Mission 22, 3 Hots And A Cot and veteran assisted living facilities in Tuskegee.
