We had a great 9.93 Mile walk today. We walked Northside Drive to 127 and then walked up town to the War Memorial Park and then headed back on West Ave. I want to thank my friend Robert for walking with us today and I want to thank all who honked, waved, and saluted in helping us honor this hero. We had 272 honks today. Thank you.
Army Veteran PFC Claude E Heath will not be forgotten !
