Roy Wesley Brady Jr. began his journey on Sunday at the Marine Reserve Unit office in Charlotte, a city where he also has family. He intended to stop in Gastonia, but along the way he bypassed the city and made his way to Kings Mountain.

Brady recently retired from the Marines after 22 years of service, which included two tours in Iraq. His experience overseas made him want to give back to the men and women who sacrificed for their country.

"Having memories of combat and some of those people that got hurt, I definitely want to do something to help those guys," Brady said.

This is a great story. An associate of mine walked across the USA last year, but he did it just to do it. He was a veteran as well. He quit his job and took a couple months to walk from Georgia to San Diego. I "watched him" online. Here's his web page:
