We had a great 6.57 Mile walk today. We made a stop at the Disabled American Veterans as we headed to Miller Ave. We then headed towards town and made a stop at the War Memorial Park. We made a stop at the Train Depot and then made another stop at the 9/11 Memorial before heading home. I want to thank my friend Robert for walking with us today and I want to thank everyone who waved, honked, and saluted in helping us honor this hero today. We had 133 honks today. It was amazing. Thank You.
Army SPC Gregory Scott Wedel will not be forgotten !
