My walk today was dedicated in honor of:
Army SSGT Randy M. Haney, Age 27 of Orlando, FL.
KIA Sep. 6, 2009 during Operation Enduring Freedom
Randy was assigned to 2nd Special Troops Battalion, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, Fort Carson, CO.
SSGT Randy M. Haney died of wounds suffered when enemy forces attacked his unit using small arms and rocket propelled grenades.
Haney had served a tour in Afghanistan from 2005-06, and in Iraq from 2007-08. But he was ready to come back to civilian life with his wife and two young children. And he was especially excited to work on his speedy Honda Civic, which he was always taking apart and putting back together.
His family said he was also a jokester who decided he would be in charge of boosting morale in his military unit.
We had a great walk today. I want to thank Robert for walking with us. I also want to thank everyone who honked and waved in helping us honor this hero. It was amazing.
He will not be forgotten !
