Patrick Rodgers, a Construction Manager in Kleinfelder’s Christiansburg, Virginia, office and a U.S. Marine Corps veteran, is once again helping lead the Henry County Memorial Ruck through his nonprofit organization, All Vets.
Scheduled for Saturday, May 23, 2026, the annual event brings veterans, supporters, and community members together to honor United States military members who are no longer with us. During the ruck, participants will carry hundreds of American, service, and POW/MIA flags across 20 miles throughout Henry County, VA, and Martinsville City before returning to Jack Dalton Park.
The event provides time for reflection, remembrance, and recognition of the veterans represented by each flag carried along the route.
Patrick founded All Vets to support the veteran community while honoring the sacrifices of fallen service members. In addition to organizing the Memorial Ruck, the nonprofit encourages wellness, connection, and camaraderie among veterans through community-focused activities and events throughout the year.
Through All Vets, Patrick continues to create opportunities for veterans and community members to come together in remembrance, support, and service.
