Irreverent Warriors Silkies Hike brings awareness to veteran suicide

Veterans and active duty service members will take to the streets of Reno on July 18 for the Irreverent Warriors Silkies Hike to bring awareness to veteran suicide. During the 2020 season, more than 60 events will bring thousands of veterans together across the United States including Nevada. Veteran and military participants hike anywhere from 6 to 14 miles, some carrying heavy packs, some in wheelchairs, but all in a spirit of support and camaraderie with a singular mission — to eliminate veteran suicide.
