America’s Run for the Fallen aims to commemorate the brave heroes who gave the ultimate sacrifice by “blazing a tribute trail across our nation”.
The run individually recognizes nearly 20,000 Service Members who have fallen since the USS Cole bombing in October of 2000.
It spans across 6,000 miles, over 19 states in 5 months. Starting in Fort Irwin, California, it began on April 7th and it will come to a close in the Arlington National Cemetery on August 5th.
Starting today and running through June 30th, the Run for the Fallen will make its way through Indiana. The established trail will be making a local impact; by utilizing IN-14, volunteers will pass through Francesville and Winamac, recognizing service members of the community along the way.
If you’re interested in volunteering to participate, becoming a sponsor or making a donation or if you’d like to view the scheduled route or search for a service member’s hero marker location, visit runforthefallen.org.
