TWELFTH ANNUAL VIRGINIA “RUN FOR THE FALLEN” TO HONOR AND REMEMBER VIRGINIA MILITARY SERVICE MEMBERS WHO DIED AS A RESULT OF SERVING DURING THE WAR ON TERROR.A Relay Team will Cover One Mile for Each Fallen Service Member in a Tribute Run from Fort Story, Virginia Beach, to Arlington National Cemetery. ??✨?♀️?
Chesapeake, VA – Beginning in 2013 Honor and Remember Inc. established the Virginia Run for the Fallen to call attention to and honor the men and women who have recently died in military service to America. A team of more than 20 active-duty military members from bases throughout Virginia and other locations across the U.S. will embark on a 250 plus-mile journey to honor every Virginia service member who died or as a result of serving during the Global War on Terror and in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, Enduring Freedom and New Dawn.
The goal of the event is to create a memorial tribute trail through Virginia to honor over 800 Fallen Heroes. Each hero marker tribute will include a short ceremony for the hero along with planting American and Honor and Remember Flags.
Each marker of the route will be dedicated to individual Virginia heroes and his or her family. The run team will stop at each “Hero Marker” HM (approx. one mile) to give individual tribute to waiting Gold Star family members, friends and comrades.
