We had a great 11.80 Mile walk today. We walked by the Crossville National Guard Armory and then we stopped by the 9/11 Memorial and headed 127 North. We crossed over to Genesis road and walked out to the overpass on I-40. We then headed back up Genesis and crossed over and stopped in at the centennial park and then headed up town to the War Memorial Park. We then headed over to Garrison park and then back to Sparta Hwy. 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 280 Honks today. It was amazing. Thank You.
Army CWO2 Nicholas S. Johnson will not be forgotten !
