We had a great 14.28 Mile walk today. We first walked the Green Loop Trail out in Fairfield Glade, TN. with some friends. What an amazing trail. We got to see a lot of great views. I then had them drop me off on Peavine road and we walked on Milo Lemert Parkway to 127 and we headed up towards town. Before heading home we made a stop at the War Memorial Park and read off a few names on the wall. I want to thank everyone who helped me honor this hero today. I want to thank everyone who honked, waved, and saluted. We had 274 honks today. Thank you. We had an amazing day.
Army CPL James A Requenez will not be forgotten !
