(MSC News)--A 71-year-old United States Air Force Veteran is walking across the country in an effort to raise awareness for his fellow Veterans.

William Shuttleworth, in May, began his journey on foot, departing from his home state of Massachusetts, in his “Vets Don’t Forget Vets” campaign.

On Monday, he made his way through portions of the local area, including Highland, in Doniphan County, as well as time in Brown and Nemaha Counties.

Brian Hagen, of MSC Radio News, had a chance to talk to Shuttleworth Monday as he made his way through the local leg of his journey.
