UNITED WE STAND — 25 YEARS Join Oscar Mike Ruckers on Sunday, September 27th at 12:00 PM at Wachusett Brewing Co. in Westminster, MA for a special 5 mile ruck honoring the 25th anniversary of the tragic events of September 11, 2001. All these years later, we remember the lives lost, the families forever changed, and the courage of the first responders, military members, and everyday Americans who came together in the aftermath.
