This issue hits home for Lucus, who understands firsthand the struggles many Veterans face after service.

Now in its third year, Lucus will once again lead the March for Vets on November 8, 2025. This year’s event will begin in Long Beach and will end at 701 Craft, 701 Bienville Blvd, Ocean Springs, MS.
