Operation 22 - June 17, 2023
Help Landen Take a Hike!
ROTC cadet Landen Conner, a sophomore at Carroll College in Helena MT, is going on a 22-mile Ruck March to raise awareness about Veteran suicide in the Bitterroot Valley. His epic march will take place on Saturday June 17 starting at 6 a.m. at the Ral Trail in Hamilton.
Why do this Ruck March? The veteran suicide crisis hit close to home last fall when a Soldier in Helena took his life. When he learned that an average of 22 veteran and military personnel end their lives EVERY DAY in this manner, Landen decided to take action and do something that would draw attention to this crisis, and the idea of the Ruck March was born. Said Landen, “As an Army ROTC cadet who is pursuing the military medical field, I am beginning to learn about the dire health service needs of our service members and veterans, specifically pertaining to mental health. Suicide is an enemy, and as past or present military, we must fight it. I began Operation 22 to show veterans that they are cared for by their community, and that there is one reason to live per person in that community."
The 22 mile hike will take him throughout Hamilton, ending at the Veteran’s Memorial. In his Army rucksack he will carry a memorial brick for another veteran who took his life. This brick will be placed in the Honor Garden at Moon Eagle River Ranch this July at Mountain Muster.
Cadet Conner also wanted to use this Ruck March as a fundraiser for VVA, to help us finish the improvements to the wheelchair accessible bathroom. If you want to donate to his fundraiser, click on LEARN MORE, above.
