Ditto Landing

I can't tell you about any more than I experienced. We were there for Ruck up 22. It is a event that is for all people especially veterans to bring attention to the average daily suicides of military members, which is 22 per day. Think about that! If The event is not just in Huntsville it's in other places as well. We, I'm included this time, get together at a mutually beneficial place like Diddo landing and you can either walk or run 22 miles with a 22 lb ruck sack and or contribute $22 or do like I'm going to do is walk 1 mi a day for 22 days. I'm just going to walk cuz I can't run that far, at 72. I didn't know about this event until I joined the VFW post that I belong to, Post 5162. It is the VFW, the American Legion,and other veteran's organizations, Veterans and civilians supporters.And it's not just for veterans themselves, it's also for the families. It's the families that serve as well, when their family members are away or in the military and not at home. It doesn't matter whether it's wartime or peacetime. There's always that chance that that veteran will never come home. You can get harmed, you can get killed, through an accident, intentional attack like we seen at some of our bases and some of our Forts and some of our military installations. Or like the Pentagon attack on 911. We, military and our families, are always at risk. All we do for Ruck up 22 is try to bring attention to the seriousness of our situations as active duty and as retired, the Guard, or the Reserve, whatever the situation either a member or family member. So please when you get a chance don't just thank someone for their service think about what the families that go through as well. I realize this is not really supposed to be said during a survey for a particular place. But since it was it started at Ditto Landing I felt the need to say this. They were so kind to let the sponsors host this and we didn't interfere with anyone else. But quite a few people showed up and it was very nice. It is a beautiful, beautiful place. I discovered new fishing holes or fishing places, I didn't know about. I didn't have time to explore but I'm going to do that again, very soon. So I'll make another review later on after I find some new places to stay and or fish. Everyone it is very nice place to visit. A beautiful place to explore and please go. So, if you see an old guy with a goatee, a cane, two rods and reels paddling around, that's me. But don't tell my wife!! 😅🤣😂. I'm supposed to be doing something official. Ot is a truly beautiful place. Running and biking tracks, I saw a golf course, nice dock areas and more amenities. Please visit and post. (Tell me about your secret fishing holes! I promise, I won't say a thing)!
