It was a great honor to walk 11.21 Miles with Army National Guard CW3 Daniel Wadham today. We walked by Holiday Hills lake on our way to town . We then walked by Garrison Park before walking by the City Police Station and the Sheriff’s office. We then made a stop at the Veterans Memorial Park and read some of the names of our Fallen Brothers on the Memorial Wall. We then headed north and made a stop in at the 9/11 Memorial. We then walked in the Obed River Park. It was such a nice walk by the river. We then headed back south and headed back to the house. The weather was perfect today. It was so nice to have the cool temps and sunshine. I want to thank everyone who honked, waved, and saluted in helping us honor this hero. We had 436 honks today. It was amazing. Thank you.
Army National Guard CW3 Daniel Wadham will not be forgotten !
