My walk today was dedicated in honor of:
Navy Veteran SCPO Chad Wilkinson, Age 43 of Virginia Beach City, VA.
died Oct. 29, 2018
Navy SEAL Chad Wilkinson, 43, stationed in Virginia Beach, VA, took his own life on October 29, 2018. Wilkinson was an active duty SEAL for 22 years.
Chad is survived by his wife, Sara. When Sara spoke at her husband’s funeral, she recounted a recent story when she walked into the garage to find Chad doing step-ups wearing a backpack. He was training to climb Aconcagua, the tallest mountain in South America, by doing 1,000 step-ups at a time.
He is buried at Arlington National Cemetery
We had a great 8.27 Mile walk this morning. I want to thank my friend Robert for walking with us this morning. I want to thank everyone who honked, waved, and saluted in helping us honor this hero. It was a nice little walk out in the country. We saw a couple of deer. The leaves were beautiful.
Navy Seal Chad Wilkinson will not be forgotten !
