I have to give my respects to former U S Army veteran Ken Brock for taking his desire to assist his fellow servicemen and servicewomen by taking a walk from Keystone Heights Florida to Coeur D' Alene Idaho which is around 2, 650 miles which took nearly five months to complete.
The journey began on February 1 from the Amvets center in Keystone Heights to Coeur D' Alene which ended on June 27 of this year.
Ken credits his service dog Pam who is a yellow Labrador Retriever who was given to him as a service dog since he suffers from PTSD from his time in the military.
Brock through his efforts raised around $7,500 dollars from donors to send it to the Wounded Warriors Project.
Pam was riding in a cart that Ken would push to avoid having his best friend feel pain from walking that distance.
It is nice to see our servicemen doing their part to assist their fellow servicemen who are in need of assistance in our tough times,

I agree with you since the servicemen of our nation are a band of brothers in real life.

It takes the stamina of a long distance runner to pull that off.

I agree with you since he did this walk to thank the Wounded Warriors for assisting him with his service dog Pam to assist him when he suffered from depression.
