When Ron Zaleski returned home from his service to the Marine Corps in 1972, he was plagued by feelings of anger and guilt. As an act of penance, in 2006 he walked barefoot across the Appalachian Trail, where he learned self-forgiveness, empathy, and found a purpose greater than himself. In 2010, he upped the stakes and walked barefoot from Concord, MA to Santa Monica, CA. He traversed over 3,400 miles without shoes, all the while carrying a sign that read 18 Vets a Day Commit Suicide! and a petition for military personnel to receive mandatory counseling. Along the way, he made connections and experienced things that would change him forever. The Long Walk Home recounts Ron's remarkable transformation from disgruntled Veteran to trailblazing advocate for hope and change.
