About this listen

 The 50-Mile March 2023 starts August 26 at the Nebraska State Capitol where volunteers will sleep on the sidewalk in front of the capitol. Upon rising they will march from Lincoln to Omaha at a pace of 3.1-3.2, allowing 22 hours to make the 50-mile journey from the capitol to Nebraska Brewing Company where they will be met by folks celebrating the march on Sunday, August 27 around 2:00 pm. The march is "Operation Noble Force" and 91 teams are raising money to help with veteran homelessness, mental health, jobs, and other needs for servicemen and women when they leave the service. Lisa Haug and Sherry Leriger are two volunteers who are raising funds toward the goal of helping veterans. It is Lisa's first year marching and Sherry's third. They are both nervous but excited about being able to help in this way. As of Tuesday 1.6k supporters raised $192,900 dollars. Lisa and Sherry are encouraging people to donate, even if it is only $1. "If everyone donated one dollar, we could really make a difference for veterans," said Sherry and Lisa.
Please consider supporting this cause. Each of us enjoys living in a free nation, and without our troops and individual soldiers/veterans, we would not be free.
