Raising awareness.

22 American veterans embarked on a challenging 175 mile kayaking trip from Charleston to Columbia, last week, in order to raise awareness of PTSD and the alarming rate of suicide among combat veterans. An estimated 22 veterans take their own lives on a daily basis, that number is symbolically mirrored in the number of participants that took part in the arduous week long journey. The Citadel was the final destination of the trip and when the 22 veterans arrived, at the military college, they were met with great fanfare, and a well deserved heroes welcome.
