- 2nd Annual Suicide Prevention Ruck March
- Location: U.S. Space & Rocket Center
- 1 Tranquility Base, Huntsville, AL 35805
- 10 a.m.-2 p.m.
- Route: 1.4-mile course around the Rocket Center
- Open to: Veterans, service members, families, VA employees, community advocates, and partners
|
- Marching in memory of Veterans and service members lost to suicide, and in support of those currently struggling.
- Held in conjunction with the 25th Anniversary of September 11, 2001, honoring those lost that day and the first responders who answered the call.
- Rucking represents the unseen burdens Veterans may carry — grief, stress, loneliness, transition.

No Veteran should have to carry that weight alone.
Today we march together. Tomorrow, we continue the mission together.
Prevention happens through everyday action: a phone call, noticing a change, asking "Are you really OK?"
