NEW YORK, NY - JULY 4TH FREEDOM RUCK

Join Travis Manion Foundation and Team RBW for a meaningful 4th of July morning in New York City, honoring service and sacrifice while giving back through purposeful movement.

We will begin the day at the 9/11 Museum with a flag raising and folding ceremony led by the TMF New York City Chapter. Volunteers will then join Team RWB to place American flags on all 2,983 names on the Memorial, a powerful tribute to those we lost on 9/11.

Particpants will muster for the TMF Freedom Ruck, carrying 50 American flags across the Brooklyn Bridge in a moving display of remembrance, resilience, and unity. We'll conclude the ruck with a social gathering at O'Hara's, to connect and reflect over a pint.

Timeline:

  • 0730: 9/11 Museum Flag Raising & Folding (led by TMF NYC)

  • 0800: Flag Placements on all victims' names (with Team RWB)

  • 0900: Muster for TMF Freedom Ruck

  • 0930: Step off across Brooklyn Bridge with 50 U.S. flags

  • 1130: ENDEX at O'Hara's for Social Pints

 

We encourage all participants to bring donations in their rucks; non-perishable goods (for Samaritan Village NYC) or a new unwrapped toy for the Toys for Tots program (Christmas in July Toy Drive).

Celebrate Independence Day by honoring the fallen, supporting the living, and building community through action. Come ruck with purpose.

 

This project will honor the life and legacy to those we lost on 9/11.
