Robstown VFW Post 7841 Memorial Day Ruck Walk
Come join us for a Memorial Day Walk in honor of our fallen men and women service members. Event is open to everyone in the community not just Veterans. Attendees do not have to complete the entire walk and do not have to carry a pack, it is optional. If you see us walking through your neighborhood, join is for a block or two. This year we will have representatives from the Corpus Christi Vet Center located in the VFW post to inform Veterans about resources and benefits available to them and their families, including mental health assistance. It’s a great opportunity for Veterans to meet other Veterans and share experiences and stories about those who paid the ultimate sacrifice. We’ve had a great time doing this over the years with family and friends. It’s just a little bit of pain afterwards
