This man is incredible not to mention patriotic! You can follow his travels on his website www.C2CW.com or on facebook - The Great America Walk With "IronMan Grandpa Al Slusser"
Al Slusser is known as the Ironman Grandpa. Slusser decided in the summer of 2009 at the ripe old age of 71 to walk across America to honor those who sacrifice part or all of their lives to serve in the military protecting our country. On October 1, 2009 ,Slusser walked out of the waters of the Pacific Ocean and headed East. Several months later after a three month hiatus to tend to a family emergency, Slusser stepped into the foam at Ocean City after walking 3188 miles. But that wasn't the end of Slusser's journey.Slusser, now 72 decided to add to his legacy by walking up the East Coast of the United States from South Florida to Maine. Slusser stopped by WESR Wed morning and talked about his journey on the air with Felicity Stokes.
Slusser hopes to get to the Canadian Border in Maine by October where he will conduct a memorial service for those who gave their lives to protect our country.
After a trip across America and then one up the East Coast you'd think that Slusser might want to retire and take it easy. Next year at 73 Al Slusser plans another chapter in his travels. He plans to walk the West Coast from San Diego to the Canadian Border in Washington State.
