It’s a boots-on-the-ground effort. A Long Island lawmaker and Marine reservist plans to trek a whopping 66 miles across Suffolk County in just 26 hours to raise awareness for the nation’s veterans’ suicide epidemic — and you’re invited. “We’re losing more veterans by their own hand than when we were at war with Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, and Somalia in the global war on terror over the past 20 years,” 45-year-old Chad Lennon, a Rocky Point Republican, told The Post.
