We had a great 12.11 Mile walk today. Today we walked from my location here in Crossville, TN to his grave in the Smith Chapel Cemetery just past Pleasant Hill. It was amazing. I want to thank my friends Robert, Steve, and Sherry for walking with us today. I also want to thank those who honked, waved, and saluted in helping us honor this hero today. It was amazing.
Army PFC Sean Paul Dodson will not be forgotten !
