We had a great 6.38 Mile walk today. Our first stop was Holiday Hills Lake. We were greeted by more then 100 geese. It was amazing. We then headed up towards town and stopped at the Veterans Memorial Park. We read a few names on the wall. We also found a painted rock by the Memorial Wall. We left it for others to find. We then continued to walk south. It was a beautiful morning. We stopped at Flowers to see our beautiful colors flying and then headed back west to the house. I want to thank my friend Robert for walking with us today and I want to thank everyone who honked, waved, and saluted. It was amazing. We had 218 honks today. Thank you
Army Veteran Jonathan Langford will not be forgotten !
