.5 Mile Remembrance Walk

Not a runner? No problem—this experience is for everyone.

Join our heroes for a 0.5-mile loop of remembrance around the Home. This walk is more than just a path—it’s a moment to honor, connect, and say thank you to the veterans who have given so much.

Whether you come to walk, cheer, dress up, give high-fives, or volunteer to assist a veteran along the route, there is a place for everyone in this special event.

As a token of appreciation, participants registered by May 22nd will receive a commemorative event shirt—along with the unforgettable experience of spending time with our members, their families, and the dedicated team who serve them every day.

Come walk, celebrate, and make a difference—because honoring our heroes is always worth the steps.
