SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- A Utah Army reservist plans to walk 500 miles to promote a withdrawal of U-S troops from Iraq.
Sergeant Marshall Thompson, a native of Logan, says he'll walk from the Idaho-Utah border to the Utah-Arizona border, starting October Second.
Thompson spent a year in Iraq as an Army journalist. He says the public might not realize that many soldiers there support a withdrawal.
Thompson's wife, Kristen, plans to join him for some of the walk. She'll be pushing a stroller with their 11-month-old daughter.
