We had a great 22.09 Mile walk today. We left out just before 6am. We walked down Northside Drive till we got to 127 and then we headed north till we got to Interstate 40 where we crossed the overpass and then turned around and headed on 127 South. We then took Interstate drive over to Genesis road. We took Industrial Blvd. back over to 127 and headed west and took Miller Ave and went by the Cumberland County High School. We ended up back on Main Street and stopped in at the War Memorial Park. We presented colors for the Car show at noon and then we headed out East First Street and stopped in at the Crossville City Cemetery to visit some of our Fallen brothers. We then Made our way back to 127 and headed back north. We made a stop at the 9/11 Memorial before heading home. I want to thank everyone who honked and waved and saluted today. It was just amazing. I also got to talk with a lot of people their at the car show. We broke our old record on honks. Today we had 818 honks. It was amazing. I can’t thank you all enough for supporting me on this walk.
Army Reserve Bradley Boone, Army Reserve Brandon Boone and their sister Krystal Ralston will not be forgotten !
