The Ruck for Vets event was held Saturday at the Knoxville VFW, with over 50 participants walking, jogging, or running a 10k course through Knoxville.
The event involved guest speaker Republican Party candidate for congress Dr. Christopher Peters, a flag raising ceremony with the local boy scout troop, a free will donation meal, and live music from Lucas Beebe. The money raised from the event will go towards the Knoxville VFW 3519 relief fund, helping veterans in their time of need. Vice Commander of the Knoxville VFW Michael Braman tells KNIA/KRLS News that he appreciates the support the VFW received and he knows that helping veterans is a big part of what makes the Knoxville community great. The KNIA/KRLS Lil’ Big Red Radio was on location playing music and making announcements.
