TULSA, Okla. -
A Saturday hike through downtown Tulsa provided a day of fun for a serious issue like PTSD for military members.
About 150 veterans and active duty members participated in the hike.
“This is the cure getting out here and having that same bond that you had when you were in the service,” U.S. Army veteran Charles Schrader said.
Schrader organized the eight-mile hike, which started at the VFW Post 577. The hike went through downtown Tulsa and then ended back at the VFW.
Schrader is a local coordinator for Irreverent Warriors, a national nonprofit for veterans. Its mission is to bring veterans together with humor and camaraderie to improve mental health and prevent military suicide.
