Star Spangled Salute: A Veteran’s Cross Country Journey Ends

Today’s Star Spangled Salute honors 43-year old Army veteran Jimmy Novak.  For the hundreds who have taken on a walk across our country they do it to find themselves or do it for a cause.  In Jimmy’s case, it turned out to be a little of both.  5 months ago he started his journey from his home in Washington state and began walking.  He was determined to make the trek to raise awareness about veteran suicide.  22 miles a day for the 22 veteran suicides a day, that was the mission.  Yesterday, on his birthday, Jimmy completed his journey at Disney World in Orlando.  In the process he raised thousands of dollars along the way.  Thank you Jimmy for your determination and your service.
