Decorated Vietnam Veteran Completes 7,000 Mile America Grand Tour at Sterling Celebration

STERLING, Va. - EntSun -- After traveling nearly 7,000 miles across 16 states over 29 days, decorated Vietnam veteran Robert Warren Hess will officially complete the Rally4Vets America Grand Tour during a community celebration on Sunday, July 12, from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. at Honor Brewing, a veteran owned brewery located at 42604 Trade West Drive, Sterling, VA 20166.

The event marks the successful conclusion of a nationwide journey commemorating America's 250th anniversary while raising awareness for veteran mental health, veteran suicide prevention, and the importance of connecting veterans with life changing resources, including service dog programs for those living with PTSD and other invisible wounds.

"This journey has never been about the miles," said Hess. "It has been about the conversations, the people we've met, and the opportunity to remind veterans that there is hope, there is purpose, and there is a community standing beside them. I'm honored to celebrate the end of this journey with fellow veterans and supporters in Northern Virginia."
