MUSIC CITY RUCK MARCH

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Operation Stand Down Tennessee (OSDTN) and Memories of Honor welcomed hundreds of participants inside Nissan Stadium for the 2025 Music City Ruck March, transforming the home of the Tennessee Titans into a powerful arena of remembrance, resilience, and community support for Veterans and their families.

This year’s march was proudly presented by the Bob Woodruff Foundation, whose leadership and generosity made the event possible. Their commitment ensures that both OSDTN and Memories of Honor can continue delivering mission-critical support to military and veteran families across Tennessee and beyond.

Nissan Stadium pulsed with purpose as participants rucked through concourses, ramps, tunnels, and field-level paths—each step carrying meaning. Veterans marched alongside families. Corporate teams carried the names of fallen heroes. Volunteers from OSDTN and Memories of Honor worked shoulder to shoulder, embodying the shared mission that anchors this event.

“The Music City Ruck March reflects the best of Nashville,” said OSDTN Chief Development Officer Penny Anderson. “The Bob Woodruff Foundation’s leadership and Memories of Honor’s commitment to honoring the fallen elevated this event to something truly meaningful. Together, we showed our Veterans and families that this community shows up.”

Memories of Honor brought its signature Heart of the Mission: bibs worn in honor of fallen service members, remembrance displays, and family engagement that ensured no hero was forgotten.

The finish-line celebration inside the stadium brought together veterans, families, sponsors, and supporters to reflect, connect, and celebrate the collective impact of the morning.

Together, we march forward. And together, we’ve got your six—yesterday, today, and always.
