We had a great 5.96 Mile walk today. What a beautiful walk. We walked by Holiday Hills Lake and then walked up town to the War Memorial Park and then headed back. It was a beautiful walk. I want to thank everyone who honked, waved and saluted in helping me honor this hero. We had 172 honks. Thank You.
Army SGT Richard Roy Brewer will not be forgotten !
NOTE: I want to thank Mitchell’s Drug Store for flying our beautiful colors.
This is amazing. Thanks for honoring my dad.
