Two very troubled veterans of the war in Iraq, Tom Voss and Anthony Anderson, decide to walk from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to Los Angeles – over 2,700 miles, taking 155 days – to help them heal from the combat experiences that haunt them. Along the way, the two men raised awareness of the unrelenting pain of moral injury many vets face and encouraged them to seek treatment.[2]
