The Milam County Memorial Ruck & Ride will return on Saturday, October 25, 2025, at the Cameron Country Club, bringing together the community to honor fallen servicemen and first responders while raising support for their families and inspiring future generations.

Price III, U.S. Army Second Lieutenant Darryn Deen Andrews, U.S. Army Sergeant Christopher Wilson, Texas State Game Warden Sergeant Joshua Clouse, Cameron Police Department Sheriff David Greene, Milam County Sheriff's Department "Our goal is to preserve their memories, uplift their families, and remind our community of the values of service and sacrifice," said event organizer Bobbie Wiesman.
