Morning Update... A 140-mile run that honors fallen Arkansas soldiers began Friday evening and ends Sunday in Little Rock. Every mile honors a soldier who lost his or her life in Iraq or Afghanistan. The race ends in a ceremony outside the State Capitol Sunday afternoon. Each mile of the run is dedicated to an Arkansas Hero. The run team will stop at every marker where they will present an American Flag and a biographical card in honor of every fallen service member in an effort to create a 140-mile memorial trail through the state.

The purpose is also to provide support, hope and healing to families grieving the death of a loved one in military service regardless of relationship or circumstance of death...
