My walk today was dedicated in honor of :
Army Veteran Alan J. Martell, Age 73 of Knoxville, TN.
Died Feb. 19, 2021
Him and his wife had three children. Alan retired from Cumberland Farms in 2013, and then moved to Knoxville, TN. to be closer to their children and grandchildren. He served in the Army during the Vietnam War.
We had an amazing 7 Mile walk today. We first walked to the Crossville Cemetery and visited with some of our fallen brothers and sisters. We then walked up threw down town and who did we see .. The lady from channel 10 news who interviewed me two years ago on Veterans Day. (Photo of us from 2 years ago.) We then stopped at the War Memorial Park down town and read some of the names then continued on our walk. I want to thank everyone who honked, waved, and saluted in helping me honor this hero. I had several people stop me on this walk and talk to us. It was amazing. We had 234 honks. Thank You.
Army Veteran Alan J. Martell will not be forgotten !
You’re such a wonderful PATRIOT. I know Al was so proud to be on that walk with you! May your tradition live on forever! Thank you Tim!! ❤❤
