The Herd requests your presence to honor our brethren who have perished fighting
The War on Terror at 6am on Memorial Day. We will be doing an easy run to Memorial Park at Hampton and Gadsden Street. After arrival and a moment of silence to honor those that have gone before us, we will mosey back to the corral of Stampede. We ask that you wear blue and run in honor of someone who has perished during this conflict. If you don’t know anyone, please take the time and find someone to honor. Unfortunately there is a list out there with names of people we will never have the opportunity to thank. Utilize this time to solemnly thank them.
If you have extra time, please look up http://www.wearblueruntoremember.org/memorial-day/
Here is a blurb from their site and a small reason to join us for this occasion:
Wear Blue: run to remember is a national nonprofit running community that honors the service and sacrifice of the American military.
wear blue: run to remember creates a support network for military members and their families; it bridges the gap between military and civilian communities and it creates a living memorial for our country’s fallen military members.
Coffeeteria to follow.
