WOODSTOCK, Ga. – As the nation paused to remember those who had paid the ultimate sacrifice, one organization was also raising awareness about those who struggle once they come home.
Dozens of active and veteran military personnel and civilian volunteers marched 12 miles through challenging weather Monday.
“What we want to do is make sure they understand you’re not alone, if you’re struggling, there’s a community out there who would love nothing more than to lift you up,” said Travis Ellis, co-founder of Shepherd’s Men.
The organization raises money for the SHARE military initiative at Shepherd Center, which helps those with PTSD, traumatic brain injuries, and other unseen injuries of war.
