This past Saturday, June, 13, 2015: The Military Peer Network and Camino Real Community Service held their annual march to support our veterans. The march was to help raise PTSD and Suicide Awareness Prevention with the support of the City of Eagle Pass. See for yourself the great turnout!
The Morning 5 am ruckers!
Danny Cruz opened by sharing the alarming statistics; every 65 minutes a veteran takes his life. Everyday an average 22 veterans commit suicide a day nation-wide. You could feel the moment of silence and awareness in the atmosphere. A sense of wanting to do more for those who were willing to serve our country for our freedom.

| Lina Cruz, the wife of Danny Cruz who has supported her husband 100%. Many blessings to the wives, mothers and sisters of veterans whom sacrificed letting go of their special men to serve their country. |
We made it to Ceylon and Main a little earlier than expected, since we did have some hard core military men leading the way!

| Flor and her husband Omar Gonzales-is an OIF Veteran. |
We waited for daylight and for 8 am for others to join us. I'm glad no one caught a picture of me at this time because I really wanted a nap and a cup of coffee. I know I wasn't the only one..but once we saw other's join us and the excitement of being together for one special cause fueled our energy once more.
