Today our walk was dedicated in honor of:
Army SGT Miles Tarron, Age 30 of McAlester, OK.
Died Nov. 28, 2021
CBRN sergeant assigned to the 6th Brigade Engineer Battalion, 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division.
Tarron, who hailed from Indianola, Oklahoma, joined the service in October 2016, according to the release. He deployed to Afghanistan from September 2017 to March 2018, and he also deployed to Kuwait in 2020 when the 82nd Airborne Division’s alert brigade was rushed into theater amid spiraling relations with Iran.
His individual awards include the Army Commendation Medal with “C” device, denoting its award for combat service, a second Army Commendation Medal, two Army Achievement Medals, and the Combat Action Badge.
“Sgt. Tarron was more than just a disciplined paratrooper,” said Lt. Col. Justin Pritchard, 6th BEB commander. “He was also a dedicated husband, father and friend whose infectious smile and light-hearted demeanor made all those around him feel welcomed.
We had a great 7.28 Mile walk today. We walked the length of Holiday Hills Drive around the lake and then headed towards Myrtle Ave. and over by CCHS . We then walked up Stanley Street and up to the War Memorial Park down town. We then headed north on 127 and headed back home before the rain started. 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 today.
Army SGT Miles Tarron will not be forgotten !
