We will be in Maine for a few days and we will post some pictures from the event when we get back. It looks like a really emotional event, if you have time, watch some of the video on the website. Each kilometer is marked with a sign/picture of each soldier and their families will be standing at their as well. There is a ceremony before and after the run. Please keep these people and all other military families in your thoughts today. It doesn't matter what you think about the war, bottom line is there are good, brave people dying for us and we should all honor them and be thankful for them.
We will post a recap in a few days. Hope you are all having a nice weekend.

Incredible! Way to use what you love to do something worthy. Enjoy it.
What a nice tribute to our fallen soldiers. I am so appreciative of our military and the sacrifices they make, and each family makes, for us to live in a free country.
This is amazing and I can't wait for the recap. This made me a little emotional just reading about it. Good luck to you guys!
It is great to be part of such a run. Having the families there is very emotional but also very special. I ran a race a while back that had the name of some battle where SA soldiers died at every kilometer mark. Was very special.
Now that is an awesome tribute!
