We had a great 7.62 Mile walk this morning. The sunrise was beautiful. I want to thank Sonic for flying our beautiful colors. I want to thank my friend Robert for walking with us today. I would like to thank all those who honked, waved, and saluted in helping me honor this hero this morning. We had 130 honks. Thank you.
