Chuck Lewis, a U.S. Marine sergeant from 1970 until 1974, is walking from Everett, Wash., to The Vietnam War Memorial in Washington, D.C. Lewis, who spent Monday evening in Libby, began his walk on Easter Sunday, and he expects to wrap up the trek in late September. En route to Libby on Monday, Lewis talked to Alizabeth VanWorner who lives just west of Libby. She waited for Lewis to approach on Highway 2, recalling her grandfather’s service in the Marines.
