We had an amazing 10.24 Mile walk this morning. We walked out in the country and then walked to 147 and headed north to the interstate and then walked back down 127 and headed back home. 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 me honor this hero. We had an amazing 351 honks this morning.
Marine LCPL Joseph Keith Bradley will not be forgotten !
