Michael Ferrara is a young man from New Jersey who has his sights set on joining the military. As he finishes up high school, he’s found a way to honor those who have gone before him and help the greater community of veterans.
“I really do want to help the veterans of our country,” Michael told Fox News. “They have put their blood, sweat and tears into fighting for our freedoms and for them to end up on the streets I think is totally unacceptable.”
This year, he’s pushing himself even further, taking on the daunting Pistol Creek Ultra-Marathon in Tennessee, a 50-mile run, to benefit another organization, VetREST, which helps veterans who suffer from PTSD.

Lt Col Charlie Brown I salute this teen for what he is doing. I ran full marathons when I was in the Marines. I can hardly imagine doing fifty miles.

There is hope in our youth, I bet this young man doesn't need a "Cry Closet."
