Our walk today was dedicated in honor of:
Marine/Army Veteran SSG Dustin Lee Parker Age 39 from Crossville, TN.
Died Aug. 10, 2019
We should not forget his and his family sacrifices to our country. He was a 1998 Cumberland County High Schoole greaduate. Served 6 1/2 years in the Marine Corps and 8 years in the Army. Dustin was also a Volunteer Firefighter 2004-2010.
Let us never forget him.
We had an amazing 22 mile walk today. It was nice to have 3 of Dustin’s family members walk along with us and Navy Veteran Coleman Baker. They all walked several miles with us . We got rained on several times but it kept things cool. I want to thank all my brothers and sisters in arms who helped make this all possible today. I want to thank all those who honked and waved in helping me honor this hero’s service to this great country . I want to thank Michele Ladd and National Veterans Resources in collecting resources that help our veterans.
Brother, you will not be forgotten !
