Morris Sadicario of Wisconsin is leading the 100 Miles for Hope challenge for his Post 501, which has raised nearly $1,000 for the Veterans and Children Foundation.
One soldier led his unit through a deadly ambush in 1968. Another defended a besieged fire base in 1972. A third directed airstrikes after a crash landing in 1971. And a fourth single-handedly cleared a trench of enemy troops in 1966.
After a close friend took his own life on July 5, 2021, Auxiliary Unit 155 member Vicky Post decided she wanted to keep other veterans from going through the same trauma.
