We had a great 7.84 Mile walk this morning. We walked by Holiday Hills Lake and then walked past TCAT and stopped by CCHS to take a couple photo’s. We then went by the War Memorial Park down town and then stopped to visit a few of our Fallen brothers in the Crossville City Cemetery. I want to thank my friend Robert for walking with us today and I want to thank all who honked, waved, and saluted in helping us honor this hero this morning. We had an amazing 103 honks.
Army Veteran Ian Hiestand will not be forgotten !
Thank you so much for walking for our fallen soldiers.
Thank you for walking for my nephew. I wish I had known ahead of time, and I would have walked with you.
I miss him daily. Ian was my hero.
