Show your support at Hero Markers: One of the most important ways to honor our Georgia fallen military is to be at the Hero Marker when the run team arrives to support families and encourage our runners as they honor our Georgia Fallen. Visibly showing support is a reminder to families that we have not forgotten and energizes runners inspiring them to continue.
Gold Star Families: You are our honored guests and are encouraged to attend your Hero's Marker. Bring your Honor and Remember personalized Flags, banners, photos, posters, friends, family and co-workers. The runners will stop and pay tribute to you and your loved ones at the end of each lap of the Museum grounds. We will post, under your hero's name on the schedule an approximate time when the runners will arrive. We will also have a reception area set up inside the Museum of Aviation that overlooks the runners route where families of the fallen can meet and fellowship with other heroes famillies and friends.
Veterans and Patriots we need you! Come out on your own or with your local organization. Military units, community clubs such as Elks, Rotary, Lions, Eagles, JROTC Units, Cross Country/Track teams etc, we encourage everyone to be a part of making this tribute journey amazing.
Public Safety Officials: We have incorporated our newest Honor and Sacrifice Flag for fallen first responders. If you are in the law enforcement, Fire Fighter, or EMT community please consider joining us and carrying this new tribute and running in honor of your brethren.
Schools, churches, businesses, corporations, patriotic Americans all, come out in your community and support this effort.
