Starting Wednesday, these University of Alabama and Auburn University student veterans set out on a 151-mile journey from Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn to Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa ahead of the biggest rivalry game of the year; the Iron Bowl.
MONTGOMERY, Ala. - As many people begin to focus on Thanksgiving, good meals and time with family, there’s a group of student veterans from the University of Alabama and Auburn University setting all that - and intense rivalry - aside in order to focus on an important cause.
“It speaks volumes that the Alabama and Auburn student veterans’ associations set aside their rivalry during the week of the Iron Bowl to work together in raising awareness about veteran suicide,” said Kent Davis, who serves as the Commissioner of the Alabama Department of Veterans Affairs and Co-Chair of Alabama’s Challenge.
They’ll carry some important items on their journey, including 22 blank dog tags. They’ll also wear 22-pound rucksacks holding donated items to be delivered to charities that help the state’s veteran population.
