Run for the Fallen! ONE MILE FOR EVERY SERVICE MEMBER KILLED IN OPERATION IRAQI FREEDOM & OPERATION ENDURING FREEDOM. On Flag Day, June 14, 2008, a dedicated team of runners ran 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 marked each mile with an American flag and signcard in an apolitical reflection of remembrance of each service member. Each year since the run across America, runners from around the world have joined Run for the Fallen in remembering our fallen. Over 50,000+ participants and over 200,000+ miles have been collectively run in remembrance of those fallen in OIF and OEF. Come out and support our local Run for the Fallen! WHEN: August 17,2013 starting at 8:30 a.m. WHERE: Stewart Watson Field, Ft Benning GA WHY: To honor the lives of the Soldiers who have paid the ultimate price for our freedom.
