At the second annual 2.2-mile Walk for Heroes, BE THE ONE, veterans, active duty servicemen, and community members, walked to raise awareness, remember those lost to su***de, and stand beside those who are struggling. Each name, each memory, and each light reminded us of a life that mattered and someone deeply missed. By listening, reaching out, and caring for one another, we can bring hope and remind others they do not have to face their struggles alone.
Thank you to Connie Wagner and Annette Johnson who volunteered at the registration table. We also had the participation of Hannah, 2026 Girls State delegate, and Connor, 2026 Boys State delegate. Thank you to the students of the BHSU Yellow Jacket Veterans Club who helped and secured many details for the success of the event. Thank you to the sponsors and Black Hills State University.
