I live in Crossville, TN but I was born in Crawfordsville, IN. I moved to Crossville almost 29 years ago and love it here.

I am a US Navy Veteran. I served from 1980 to 1984 active and 1984 to 1986 non active reserves. I was a AO3 and made the first World Cruise on the USS Carl Vinson in 1983. I have been disabled since 1994. They found an inoperable brain tumor and a brain aneurysm back in 1994. I had brain surgery for the aneurysm in 1994. A few years later they found out that I had glaucoma and was loosing my eyesight. I also had tunnel vision due to the optical nerve damage done by the aneurysm. Then four years ago I found out that I do not have a right carotid artery. So a few medical problems but that’s not stopping me.

I am a very positive and motivated person. God has blessed me with a wonderful family and friends. I am very patriotic. Most people that know me , know that I am very passionate about Honoring Our Fallen Heroes. I have been doing it for years and I will be doing it till the day I die. We shall keep their memories alive.

Why do I walk 4 them

It’s simple, it is a great way to teach people
what the cost of FREEDOM is, and how to show
the families of Fallen Warriors that their families
Sacrifices aren’t forgotten.

Walking with our Flag and dedicating my walks to honor a fallen soldier has provided me with a mission a
tasking to ensure that the memories of our fallen 
will always be remembered and talked about.
Keeping the memories alive !
