"The campaign to rename the bridge connecting Rockwall and Rowlett is the work of a long list of local and state veterans groups, public servants and patriotic supporters of the Walk the Bridge initiative. Since 2018, these groups have conducted a symbolic 22-mile walk across the bridge on the 22nd of each month, raising awareness of the on-average 22 veterans and first responders across the nation who commit suicide due to Post-Traumatic Stress each day."
