We had a great 6.22 Mile walk this morning. It was amazing. I had the honor of meeting several of his family that walked with us today. Ralph, Reinold, Reuben, Randy, Courtney, Marcus, Nickolus I want to thank you for letting me have the honor to walk with your father today. I want to thank my friend Robert for walking with us also. We walked to where they use to live and then we walked to the War Memorial Park down town. It was great. I want to thank all those who honked, waved, and saluted in helping us honor this hero.
