GREENSBORO, N.C. -- A Triad Marine brought a whole new meaning to "standing up for a good cause".

Terry Sharpe stood in place for 22 hours straight on the corner of Battleground and New Garden Road in Greensboro.

He started at 5:30 Friday evening and did it to raise awareness of the more than 22 veterans who die from suicide every day.

Sharpe also plans to raise money for the New Line Foundation.

Terry Sharpe is known as "The Walking Marine".

He stood in place for 22 hours straight on the corner of Battleground and New Garden Road in Greensboro.

He started at 5:30 Friday evening and did it to raise awareness of the more than 22 veterans who die from suicide every day.

At 68 years old, Sharpe says the act of standing for 22 hours straight isn't easy but it's nothing compared to what some veterans go through every day.

"My muscles will cramp, my legs will cramp and I'll be miserable. But nothing compared to what some of these veterans are going through. My misery will be over in 22 hours. Their misery is 24/7," Sharpe said.

Sharpe also plans to raise money for the New Line Foundation. It's a non-profit supporting veterans, law enforcement and other public service officials.
