America’s Run for the Fallen
Beginning in April 2018 Honor and Remember Inc. will initiate America’s Run for the Fallen, one of the most comprehensive military tribute events ever organized. The Run will call attention to and specifically honor the men and women who have died during the War on Terror, beginning with the USS Cole Oct 12, 2000. A core team of more than 400 active duty military and civilian members from throughout the nation will embark on an 19 state, 6100 mile journey to honor every fallen service member, numbering nearly 20,000. Each mile of the route will be dedicated to an individual hero and their family, based on their chronological date of death. America’s “Run for the Fallen” will kick off on Saturday morning, April 7, 2018, at 7:00 a.m. at Fort Irwin, California, with a “start” ceremony for the five month, 6000+ mile mission through California, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia to finish at Arlington National Cemetery, on or near Sunday August 5th.
