Statewide, Iowa — Two veterans who call themselves Team Long Road are making their way across Iowa as part of a cross-country journey from Boston, Massachusetts to Newport, Oregon.
They’re calling attention to American soldiers who remain missing in action. Justin “JD” LeHew says he and Coleman “Rocky” Kinzer started their journey on June 6th, and last week passed through cities including Dyersville, Manchester and Independence, headed west.
Both are retired US Marines and they say taking this long backpack journey has been an amazing experience.
The two are following the historic US Highway 20 for the entire stretch – not only in Iowa, but across the country. They hope to be back home by Christmas. Learn more about the trek at TeamLongRoad.com.
