Along the Washington and Old Dominion Trail, he walks in a rhythmic, deliberate step. The kind of cadence learned in the military.

"This is the very least I can do", says former Marine Justin Kuhel. "I owe them."
Kuhel, 23, served two combat tours in Afghanistan and Iraq.
He was never wounded.
His walk is a way of paying tribute to friends who were killed or wounded in battle.
"It could've been me just as easily that was injured", Kuhel says. "And I'd want somebody doing that for me".
Justin....thank you for your service and I for one am very proud of what you've done.
