ONE MILE FOR EVERY SERVICE MEMBER KILLED
IN OPERATION IRAQI FREEDOM.
Beginning Flag Day, June 14, 2008, a dedicated team of runners will run across America from Fort Irwin, CA to Arlington National Cemetery, one mile for every soldier, sailor, airmen, and marine killed in Operation Iraqi Freedom. For ten weeks, team members will mark each mile with an American flag and signcard in an apolitical reflection of remembrance of each service member.

“ I’m going to keep watching the runners’ progress. The day they are running for Dustin is August 3, 2008. My birthday is August 2nd and placing his flag the next day will be such a wonderful tribute. I wonder where they will be in the run when they place the flag for Dustin?” -Judy
