Today my walk was dedicated in honor of:
Marine LCPL Daniel G. Raney, Age 21 of Pleasant View, TN.
KIA Jul. 9, 2010 Operation Enduring Freedom , Afghanistan
He was assigned to 3rd Battalion, 6th Marines, 2nd Marine Division, II Marine Expeditionary Force, Camp Lejeune, N.C.
Gabe was a 2007 graduate of Sycamore High School in Cheatham County, and was the eldest of two children. Family and friends described Gabe as a quiet young man with a good sense of humor who “wanted to make a difference in the world.” He is survived by his mother, his brother, and by two stepbrothers and a stepsister.
Marine LCPL Daniel G. Raney is buried in the Andersonville National Cemetery, Andersonville National Historic Site, Macon County, Georgia.
We had a great 7.53 Mile walk this morning. The weather was a little cooler this morning. I want to thank my friend Robert for walking with us today. The weather was perfect. I want to thank everyone that honked and waved and saluted in helping me honor this hero this morning. We had 145 Honks this morning.
Marine LCPL Daniel G. Raney will not be forgotten !
