Veteran hiking Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine carrying dog tags with names of fallen veterans/first responders

Dinwiddie, VA

Hello Brothers and Sisters,

My name is Rob Diamond, aka "DogTag." I will be leaving in a few weeks to start the adventure of a lifetime. I will be hiking the Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine and trying to bring attention to veteran and first responder suicide. As part of my journey, I will be carrying engraved dog tags with the names of veterans and first responders who have chosen to take their own lives. I am asking family and friends to send me names of individuals I can add to a dog tag. I have attached a picture of what will be on the tags. I am doing this at my own expense, and hope that in my 2,200-mile journey I can "Be the One" to bring more attention to this terrible problem our country currently has that doesn't seem to be going away. I will be vlogging my journey on YouTube and hope everyone will follow my journey.
