Brigadier General (Ret.) Dick Miller rucked 2.2 miles to symbolize the burdens that military personnel bear in their service to the nation.
National Veteran Business Development Council – NVBDC attended the Stellantis’ Veterans Group 9/11 Remembrance Ruck March held at the Chrysler Technology Center on September 8th, 2023. The annual event honors the memory of the September 11, 2001, attacks and pays tribute to the brave men and women who are first responders or who serve or have served in the military.
Participants in the ruck march carried weighted backpacks filled with non-perishable items, symbolizing the burdens that military personnel bear in their service to the nation. The backpacks filled with non-perishable items were then donated to 3 non-profit organizations serving Veterans, which included Vets Returning Home, Piquette Square, and Michigan Stand Down.
The event included a speech by NVBDC President Brigadier General (Ret) Dick Miller who shared his insights and experiences as a former military leader. The Army General concluded his speech by sharing his heartfelt gratitude to military service member participants prior to the Ruck March.
We would also like to thank the Auburn Hills Police Department for the presentation of colors of the United States of America at the event.
