    Army veteran Sgt. First Class Jimmy Novak is walking across the nation, 22 miles per day for 22 weeks to raise awareness of the nation’s 22 Veterans we lose, on average, to suicide each day. Novak stayed the night at Gowen Field last night and continued on his journey early this morning. His trek began in Washington and will pass through ten other states ending in Florida this August 22, 2019. “Anything that generates more awareness of suicide, I support,” said Maj. Gen. Michael Garshak, Adjutant General of Idaho and commander, Idaho National Guard. “It was an honor to shake hands with Jimmy as he entered the gates at Gowen Field and I wish him luck in this endeavor.” At the end of his journey, Novak will have walked for five months and more than 3,000 miles in support of suicide awareness in our veteran community.
