In September, 2021 LTC Doug Sweet will transition out of the Army. Sweet has seen multiple combat tours, and now he wants “The Last Mile” of his military career to be an adventure in which he serves others.

Doug will hike the entire 2,193 mile-long Appalachian Trail beginning Thursday Feb 25. We chatted with him the day before flying to Georgia to start his journey from Springer Mountain. Doug will hike until June 2021 when he reaches Mount Katahdin in Maine. LTC Sweet's effort will be to raise funds and raise awareness for veterans homelessness. His fundraising effort will benefit DC’s Miriam’s Kitchen. The goal is $100,000. Come On Lets Help Him Out!
