Bethlehem Patch recently reported Anthony LoBue, 69, who is better known as Tony the Vet, began a new walkathon after crossing the United States in the months leading up to the 10-year anniversary of the Sept. 11 terror attacks.

LoBue, who founded Support Our Veterans Association in 2010, will continue raising awareness for veterans with a walking journey that will take him from Pennsylvania to New York City by March 11, according to the report.  On Sept. 11, 2010, LoBue began a cross-country walk from his San Diego home that would take him to Ground Zero a year later.
