When Captains Mark Silvers and Sean Gobin entered the Walnutport Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 7215, they were introduced and shook hands with everyone at the gathering.
Commander Bruce Jones said the gathering was for two brave men who are hiking the Appalachian Trail. The purpose of the Georgia to Maine hike was to raise money for the Warrior Hike to provide adaptive vehicles for disabled veterans. The Veterans Administration pays part of the cost but on average $5,000 has to be paid by the recipient.
