“Run For The Fallen” Nears Arlington
Aug 12 at 6:06pm by David Tate
Starting on June 14 at Ft. Irwin, California, a team of ten young people began a journey of remembrance for the American men and women who have died in Operation Iraqi Freedom. On August 12, the team made their way into southwestern Virginia, stopping in Christiansburg. Coincidentally, or not, the team’s August 12 stop is in the same hometown as OIF’s latest US serviceman killed in Iraq, Sgt. Kenny Gibson.
The run is scheduled to finish outside of Arlington National Cemetary on Sunday, August 24th. At that time, participants will run one last length for all our fallen soldiers in both Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom.

1Thanks Dave! As the runners approach mile 3685 on day 62, August 15th, my thoughts will be there on the Blue Ridge Parkway wishing we could be there to thank and hug the runners for what they are accomplishing. We WILL be at Arlington on the 24th for sure!
