"No one walks the trail alone."
Welcome George Eshleman
On average a staggering 22 veterans commit suicide every day. We’re joined on the Starline by an army veteran who was searching for answers. His story has been turned into a movie in theaters on Memorial Day. It’s called “The Keeper” and we thank him for his service and welcome George Eshleman.
George, let’s go Beyond the Mic. Challenged by your own demons, you hiked the entire Appalachian Trail in 2016 carrying 363 name tapes from military members who committed suicide. How did carrying those names affect you emotionally?
“No one walks the trail alone.” You never intended to finish the trail but had 363 souls as your guardians. How close was the darkness and how powerful was the light when you finished the trail?
