We had a great 9.01 Mile walk today. We started out by walking in The Gardens and then we headed to the Obed River Park where we walked the trail along the river and then we took the Plantation Trail. We then headed to the Centennial Park where we walked past all the playing fields and then we headed down Miller Ave and went in Holiday Hills where we walked by the lake before heading home. We had a great walk. I want to thank my friend Robert for walking with us. I want to thank everyone who honked, waved, and saluted in helping us honor this hero today. We had 119 honks. It was amazing. Thank you..
Army SPC Adriana N. Salem will not be forgotten !
