It was a great honor to walk 9.50 miles with Marine LCPL Ethan Matthew Locascio. We started out headed west on Sparta Hwy and then walked into River Run. The temp. was in the high 30’s and the wind was a little brisk. We got to see 14 deer but they were on the move and we were not able to get a photo of them. We also seen around 20 wild Turkey’s and over 100 geese. It was a nice quiet and peaceful walk. I want to thank everyone who honked, waved, and saluted. We had 112 honks today. Thank you, It was amazing.
