Our walk today was dedicated in honor of:
Marine SGT George William Goodrow Jr, Age 76 of Staunton, VA.
Died Jun. 13, 2001
He was a US Marine Veteran of World War II and prior to retirement was employed as a safety engineer with Westinghouse Corp. With over 25 years of service. He was a member of the Staunton VFW Post No. 2216. He was a past member of the Staunton Police Reserves and past commander of the Coast Guard Reserves.
We had a great 7 mile walk this morning. We walked up town to the War Memorial Park and then we walked to the Crossville City Cemetery and visited with over 20 of our fallen brothers and sisters. We then stopped in at Family Ties and visited with his son before heading home. I want to thank my friend Robert for walking with us today. I want to thank everyone who honked, waved, and saluted in helping us honor this hero today. We had 189 honks today. It was amazing. Thank You.
Marine SGT George William Goodrow Jr will not be forgotten !
