On behalf of VFW 454, we invite you to join us for the 5th year of the Veterans Ruck March. By your participation, donation and sponsorship you help us in our mission to end the 22 Veteran lives lost each day to suicide (#end22ADAY).

This event is FREE participation for the community. Any monetary collections received for this event will benefit local veterans organizations and other charities. We are also collecting nonperishable food items for the Midwest Food Bank here in Central Illinois.

In past ruck marches, we have donated over 1,000 pounds of food items brought by participants in their packs.

Be Strong stands behind the VFW POST 454 and believes in this mission. For every Be Strong member who registers to join in, Coach Drew will ruck with 3 pounds of canned goods.

Thank you for supporting veterans! Your support is invaluable.
