Mike Faupel, from Elkton, is once again participating in a "Ruck For The Fallen" around Huron County.
"Ruck for the Fallen", as described on their website, is dedicated to our pledge of supporting lost heroes.
First Sgt. Mitch Kriebel says of the program, "Our goal of unwavering support is achieved by raising funds for families who have lost a first-responder, an active military member or veteran in the line of duty or who are experiencing mental, emotional and physical effects incurred by the risks they face every day. Our community of Rucker's raise funds by participating in Ruck challenges, races, or local events sponsored by a military unit. All donations raised are used for the well-being of our hero's livelihood. We believe that carrying the burden of loss in our ruck sacks to be an Honor, it's with pride we fully accept this task."
Kriebel added, "It's not about personal recognition, but our ability to honor those who have willfully placed themselves in harm's way or sacrificed their lives for everyone's freedoms and way of life. Ruck for the Fallen will stay true to our pledge by never stopping until all Heroes and their families are wholeheartedly supported. We believe words alone cannot fulfill a promise. We allow our actions to speak for us. The pain we feel in our shoulders holds no bearing on the pride and commitment we carry in our hearts. Deeds, not words!"
Faupel will be walking around Huron County, from Sebewaing to Sherman Township, passing through Bay Port, Caseville, Port Austin, Port Hope and Harbor Beach.
"I'll be starting on July 1st and hopefully be done by July 5th. If any of you see me, don't be afraid to say hi or take a picture. Wish me luck!" Said Faupel.
