Memorial Day Remembrance Ruck March

Dutch DeGroot - 5/9/2024

ruck march

For our Ruck March event this year we are creating a wall of honor. This will be on a professionally designed board with names of fallen service members. Participants were given the option to provide names of a fallen service member that they would like march in honor of. I am asking if you could please ask the veterans from your VFW post and provide any names of the fallen that we can add and honor as well. Please provide the Full Name, Rank, and Branch of Service. by 16 May, thank you EmbraceTheRuck@gmail.com. 

WHEN: Saturday, May 25 (8AM: Check In, 8:45AM: National Anthem/Taps, 9AM: March Begins)


WHERE: Starts/Concludes at the Veterans Memorial Bandshell at 411 S. Maple Street, Mount Prospect, IL 60056. Parking available at the Lions Park Rec Center at this address.


WHY: A march to honor those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice in service to this country.
