It was a great honor to walk 6.01 Miles with Navy Veteran Ty B. Ramsey. Today Ty and I walked in our 5th Annual PTSD Awareness Walk. We met everyone at the park. We had a prayer and a moment of silence and then we started our walk. I think we had a total between 15 and 20 people. It started off a little wet with it raining a little but as time went on the rain left. It was great to meet new people and get to talk about what I do and about our hero who we was walking with today. We were actually walking with several other Fallen Heroes as well. Thank you Brandy for bringing some of our other Fallen Heroes along for our walk. Lot’s of talking and meeting new people. It was a great walk. At the end of the walk, The football players and I did our yearly last lap run. we ran the whole way around. It wasn’t easy but the guys kept me going and we made it. What a amazing day we had. I want to thank everyone who made it, Thank You for helping us bring awareness to PTSD. It’s always great to see younger generation getting out and joining a great cause. Looking forward to next years walk. Thank you
Navy Veteran Ty B. Ramsey will not be forgotten !
