We had a great 6.62 Mile walk this morning. It was a blustery 28 deg. but the sun was out and perfect for a walk out in the country. Not much traffic. Nice peaceful walk. I want to thank my friend Robert for walking with us and I want to thank everyone that honked, waved, and saluted in helping us honor this hero. We had 61 honks today. It was great. Thank you.
Army Veteran John Wesley Hendon Jr will not be forgotten !
