We had a great 10.35 mile walk today. When we started out my phone said it was 15 degrees. But the sun was shining and it was beautiful out. We stopped by the car wash on Sparta Hwy to see all the ice. WOW it was amazing and then we walked on out and stopped to see the buffalo. We then headed on out to I-40 overpass and then walked back on 127 then back home. It was a great day to be outdoors. I want to thank my friend Robert for walking with me today and I want to thank all who honked, waved, and saluted in helping us honor this hero. We had an amazing 400 honks today. Thank You !
Army Veteran PFC Billy Ashburn Jr will not be forgotten !
