The SALTY VETS Foundation is sending out a huge congratulations to a Hopkinsville resident who finished Saturday’s ruck march with the fastest time. Richard Cooper was the fastest in completing the 6-mile ruck march. Cooper is a retired military chaplain and was the most mature participant at 70 years old. He is soon leaving to go on a pilgrimage from Portugal to Spain, which is approximately 175 miles, and he’ll hike 15-18 miles a day.
