Pausing to remember Ivan Lugo (USMC) and Connor Polston (USMC).
The Heroes Silkies Walk is a call to action: one that strives to connect veterans and their families while building strong community relationships. I am walking in response to that call.
I am currently an Associate Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and Veteran Suicide Prevention Peer Support Specialist. I am also a United States Marine Corps veteran and am fully dedicated to serving the military community. There was a point in time where the traumas I experienced during service nearly consumed me. I have since found the strength to share my story, find my community, and heal.
Military service does not have to end in tragedy. I urge you to answer the call, be part of the change, find the Strength to Rise, and join us for the 2024 Silkies Walk!
With your generosity, your gift will allow Heroes to continue working to prevent our nation's heroes and their families from suffering due at their sacrifices they have made for our country.
