Walking For Veterans


Marine veteran Richard Hunsucker is in the process of walking across the United States, and stopped in Socorro to take a breather this week. He said Tuesday his “Walk Across America’ is to raise awareness for veterans’ contributions to society, and especially to raise money for Disabled American Veterans. The walk – a planned 202 days and 2,650 miles – takes Hunsaker through eight southern tier states. Hunsucker left Jacksonville on Nov. 11, 2009 (Veterans Day), and expects to arrive in San Diego on May 31 (Memorial Day). He accompanied by a vehicle embellished with names of veterans he’s met on his journey. The public is invited to follow his progress on the Internet: www.vetwalking.org.
