Ex-GI Walks America For Military Families

http://stream.publicbroadcasting.net/production/mp3/kcur/local-kcur-909414.mp3

Kansas City, MO – There's no accurate count of the number of people who have walked across America. Some have done it with little fanfare, others with no recognition at all. A former U. S. Army soldier strode into Kansas City yesterday with a self imposed mission driving him, and a long way toward reaching this goal. KCUR's Dan Verbeck has the story.

KCUR is here for Kansas City, because Kansas City is here for KCUR.
