A 65 year old vietnam veteran from the Champaign area is walking across the State of Illinois.
  
Wednesday, Rob Siedenburg took off from Clat Adams Park in Quincy and is heading East.

By September 30th he hopes to be in Danville, walking about 10 miles a day.

You can keep up with the journey by reading his blogspot www.walkacrossillinois-rob.blogspot.com.

He wants to bring awareness to what soldiers are doing and did for our country.

Siedenburg encourages people to wave and honk as you see him

You can't miss him, he will be walking down Illinois 24 with a large american flag.
