Veterans march Iron Ruck

About 80 student veterans started their trek from The University of Alabama on Wednesday and wrapped up their awareness march this morning at Jordan-Hare Stadium.

One year ago, student veterans from Auburn University and the University of Alabama used their Thanksgiving break to lace up their boots, throw on their rucksacks weighing 22 pounds, and march 151 miles from the “Plains” of Auburn to the “Druid City” of Tuscaloosa to raise awareness for veteran suicide that plagues our armed forces community every day.
