We had a great 6.14 Mile walk today. The lake was beautiful this morning as we walked by on our way to town. We walked by the Military Memorial Museum and paused to read the signs about the food drive and about the upcoming Veterans Parade. We then reached the War Memorial Park where we read several of our Fallen brothers names on the Memorial Wall. Our next stop was the Train Depot where a lot of our brothers from past wars were brought home. We made another stop at the Frost Cemetery to visit with some more of our Fallen Brothers before heading home. I want to thank everyone who honked, waved, and saluted in helping me honor this hero. We had 151 honks today. It was amazing and yes, I noticed all the extra salutes. Thank you.
Marine SGT Keith D. Yennie II will not be forgotten !
