On Saturday, May 12, 2018, the one-hour walk begins and ends at Trinity Lutheran Church, Lansdale. The walk is hosted by Trinity, volunteers, and the Veterans Ministry. Donations raised are used to help Pennsylvania veterans of all ages who need assistance with housing, food, clothing, car repair, appliance purchase or repair, utility payment and auto purchase.
If veterans from all branches of service and eras need help, referral is made to their County Veterans Affairs Director or the website PAHEROWALK.com
Under the direction of CMSGT Dee Sullivan, the North Penn High Air Force Junior ROTC Cadet Color Guard will present the colors. The Red Hill Band will perform patriotic music prior to the walk. Jeanne Sorg of the Montgomery County Recorder of Deeds will be available to issue Montgomery County Veterans Cards to those veterans who have a copy of their DD-214.

Please bring your family, friends, and pets. If you cannot do the walk, we would love to have you come and support the walkers. Refreshments will be served in Hyson Hall after the walk. Hopefully, this year we will have good weather. We can still see the happy huge smile on Pastor Glod’s face as she returned from the walk last year.
Never have I seen anyone so super saturated with rain despite her long, long rain coat and hat.
