Ruck and Row

KEEP THEIR MEMORY ALIVE

Memorial Day 2025
We Honored Your Fallen Hero
And Those In The Memorial Prayer Box

This year in honoring those we always carry with us in the Memorial Prayer Box, we are something more unique and organic to our AO (Area of Operation).  Following this year’s Memorial Day parade and ceremony, we will ruck in full gear a couple miles to the Absecon boat ramp.  Once there, we launch our “RIB”, Combat Rubber Raiding Craft, and paddle 10 miles across the Absecon Bay for a landing at the Brigantine boat ramp.  From there we ruck another few miles in full gear to the VFW Post with supporters walking along to honor the fallen.

It is a long difficult day but if it was easy, it would not mean as much. Those we honor deserve the effort.

There are so many photos and a lot of video from last year. Thank you to everyone for your help and support.
