Army veteran completes 1,000-mile ride to raise awareness for homeless veterans

Army veteran Jeremy Robinson and his horse, Trooper, finished their months-long journey to the Texas Capitol on Saturday. They rode over 1,000 miles around Texas, raising awareness for homeless veterans. 

"It has been one of the greatest experiences I've ever had," Robinson said.

Robinson founded his organization, RP-1 Texas, with one goal: ending veteran homelessness. He hopes to create a community home for veterans with therapy services, skills training and homesteading.

"I started devising a way for veterans to be able to live together, to be able to thrive off one another and help each other," Robinson said.

He said that community is the key to helping veterans who are struggling.

"One of the first things I noticed, the trend among the guys that aren't doing very well, was that they felt isolated," Robinson said.
