Here we are at the beginning of one of the most meaningful days of my life. I don't know how many of you have heard of the "run for the fallen". It was started by a group who had a friend who served and died in Iraq in 2005. They decided they wanted to do something not only for him but all the soldiers who had given their lives so they organized this run. They are running 1 mile for each who died. They started in California on Flag day, they ran through Blanding today and they will end in Arlington Virginia in August. Anyone who wants to be involved has been invited to organize a one mile run on thier last day wherever you are! Go to www.runforthefallen.org to get more info!!

Here comes one of thier runners they carry the flag the whole way. Next to her is a blanding local who met with them in Bluff and ran along side of them At each mile they stop and leave a flag and picture of a soldier (sorry I forgot to turn it how dumb) They go in order of death and who would have known that the flag for Quinn, who was from here would end up in between here and monticello! what a neat coincidence.(?)
The first runner handed off the flag and we followed behind the next. All of us who participated here in Blanding ran 2 miles for the 2 soldiers from our area Quinn and Nathan Winder. We will be organizing a mile run to show our support in August on the last day.
