Our nation owes a debt to
its fallen heroes that we
can never fully repay.
...Barack Obama
Today is Memorial Day...a federal holiday in the United States for honoring and mourning the military who have died while serving in the United States Armed Forces.
My husband has run in the Armed Forces Half Marathon for the last 3 years on Memorial weekend at the Naval Weapons Station in Concord, CA. He was signed up to run this year however it was unfortunately cancelled due to the coronavirus. Each year they honor a different branch of the US Armed Forces...Navy, Army, Coast Guard, Air Force and Marines. Five pound Sophie Belle has worn the medal each year to show its grand size. I am hoping she can wear one next year and the 5th and final branch medal in 2022. Both my husband and Sophie need to stay safe and healthy.
Nice on Black.
Was it to be the air force this year? I guess that will now be postponed. I hope your husband is managing to keep up his fitness during this period and that you all fid a suitable way to commemorate the Memorial Day. You already have I guess, with this post.
Your Sophie is the perfect model for these massive medals! I'm so proud of your husband, who with your support. runs in the memory of these men and women! It's a pity this can't take place this year, but better to be safe. Thank you for making such a wonderful statement with these photos!
Wonderful collage and for such a good cause. Congratulations to your husband for his dedication to the cause - and a wise choice to stay safe this year!
