University of Nebraska-Lincoln and University of Iowa Student Veterans are conducting a “Ruck March” from Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City to Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, this week, to raise awareness of Veteran and Military member suicide. The 322-mile march began Nov. 20th, and a hand-off of the game ball to Team Nebraska took place in Menlo, enroute to the Nov. 29th Cornhusker vs. Hawkeye game.

Rucking is being divided into shifts of roughly 20-miles each. Each team member was asked to carry 20-pounds of personal belongings to signify the 20 veterans who is lost to suicide each day. The group was making their way into Atlantic this morning, on White Pole Road. More information is available at www.ruckfilm.com, or on the Facebook page The Things They Carry Ruck March.
