Today our walk was dedicated in honor of :
Marine/Army Veteran SSG Dustin Lee Parker Age 39 from Crossville, TN.
Died Aug. 10, 2019
Dustin was a Cumberland County High School graduate. Served 6 1/2 years in the Marine Corps and 8 years in the Army. Dustin was also a Volunteer Firefighter 2004-2010.
Today our walk was a Veteran Suicide Awareness Walk. We had a great 2.2 Mile walk today. My friend Robert and I met with Dustin’s Mother, Donna and his sister Melanie up at the War Memorial Park and then we headed North on 127 and walked 1.1 Miles and then walked back to the War memorial Park. We had a great walk. I want to thank everyone who honked, waved, and saluted in helping us honor this hero. We had 59 honks today. Thank you.
Marine/Army Veteran SSG Dustin Lee Parker will not be forgotten !
The Veteran Suicide Awareness walk was walked in several states by several people and I will be updating this post with a video of everyone’s photo’s of their walks. Thank you all for making this possible. Click this link to watch the video of everyone’s walk. https://youtu.be/uKkSKalihSI
