The theme for 2026 is "Finding Hope".

Many veterans struggle for years after service to transition to a civilian life. For many, on the outside they may look fine but on the inside, much of life has lost is luster. They struggle with not having a greater purpose. Its hard to realize who you  are now is not the person you were before military  service or during. 

But there is hope! We bring a message of solidarity with your brothers and sisters. To say we have been there, we got through it, and you can too. There is room for you here, to talk or just be. There is no judgement only open ears and resources for you to use. 

So if you are a veteran, active duty or NG/reservists, we encourage you to participate. You can lead a walk yourself or join in someone else's. This is a family, so let's pull together and hold each other up!
