We had a great 8.21 Mile walk today. We started out by waking by the Army National Guard Armory and then we headed to the Obed River Park. It was a beautiful day for a walk. We then headed up town to the War Memorial Park. Before heading home we stopped to see the big flag at the Bakery. The wind was blowing the flag so beautiful in the sky. I want to thank everyone who honked, waved, and saluted in helping me honor this hero. We had 224 honks today. It was amazing. Thank You.
Army SPC Kaylie M Harris will not be forgotten !
