A marine veteran walked 90 miles in honor of the seven victims of a deadly New Hampshire motorcycle crash.
Dave Roberts didn’t know any of the seven people killed in last month’s deadly motorcycle crash in Randolph, New Hampshire. But that didn’t stop the marine veteran from honoring their memory.
"The accident happened that Friday and I was just lost, and I didn't know how to help," Roberts, 53, told NBC5. Despite being in recovery from spinal cord surgery just two weeks ago, Roberts chose to walk 90 miles over seven days, representing the distance between Laconia and Randolph, a popular motorcycle journey. He concluded his march at the VA Medical Center in White River Junction, Vermont, where he has been a patient for years. Met with cheers and waving flags from patients, employees, and supporters upon his arrival, Roberts said it’s all part of the “Marine bond.
‘The Marine motto is you ‘Never Leave a Marine Behind,’ so when a Marine goes down, you rise up, it don't matter how much pain you're in. You do whatever you can do," Roberts told NBC5."I did this because it was the mission that I needed to do for God, country and my Marines.”The seven motorcyclists killed in the deadly crash were members and supporters of the Jarheads Motorcycle Club.
