A double amputee veteran who spent the last month living outside in an effort to bring awareness to homeless veterans is ending his quest this weekend.
Marine Cpl. Brandon Rumbaugh of Uniontown started his mission on Nov. 1 and previously said he would end it on Nov. 29, which is the fifth anniversary of the day he was injured in Afghanistan.
Rumbaugh celebrated the end of his journey by hosting a spaghetti dinner Saturday night at the Uniontown Fraternal Order of Eagles. All proceeds from the dinner will go toward homeless veterans.
Rumbaugh previously said that 20 percent of the homeless are veterans, a number that is unacceptable.
The veteran brought with him only a change of clothes, some blankets and a small bag containing a few supplies for his month long outdoor endeavor.
