AUSTIN, Minn. – A Marine veteran has completed his mission to walk from Minnesota to Texas to view the solar eclipse.
Daniel Crawford began his walk on Feb. 3rd in Austin, Minnesota and watched the solar eclipse from just outside Austin, Texas Monday. He calls it a 1000-mile gratitude walk.
Crawford said he turned to alcohol after leaving active duty in 1995 and struggled with drinking until 2022 when he discovered the Duluth-based nonprofit 23rd Veteran.
Crawford says his walk through six states spread a message of hope to those he met while raising money for the organization that helped him become sober.
