Walking man of Murphys on the mend

On July 11, 2013 Ric Ryan - aka the Walking Man of Murphys- received a new right knee at the VA hospital. Though this will hinder his walking ability for up to eight weeks he plans on hitting the road to walk for vets and Operation Mend as soon as the doctors will allow it.

"I can not drive for six weeks and they tell me I won't be able to walk my 6 to 10 miles every day for about two months. That will be hard for me but I guess that just has to be. I will start walking around the house to get it all back and I think I will be walking my walk sooner then they think, we'll see.I WILL NEVER QUIT WALKING FOR THE VETS." Ric Ryan USMC 64-68
