Today our walk was dedicated in honor of:
Army Veteran William Delano Merritt Age 61 of Lizella, GA.
Died Mar. 12, 2014
Served with the 173d Airborne Brigade in Vietnam.
Retired from the Macon Police Department after 25 years of service.
He worked at Hatcher Petroleum Transport until his illness.
We had a great 8.64 Mile walk today. We walked by Lake Holiday and then we walked down Miller Ave and stopped in at the American Legion. We then headed up 127 and stopped in at the War Memorial Park down town. We then headed back to the house as the wind was really getting bad. It was a beautiful day. I want to thank everyone who honked, waved, and saluted in helping me honor this hero. We had 231 honks today. It was amazing. Thank you.
Army Veteran William Delano Merritt will not be forgotten !
Thank you so much for your walk for my husband! He was a very proud soldier!
