In an apolitical reflection of Remembrance, a Military Team will come together every September to embark on a 5 Day, 225+ mile journey to Honor every New Jersey service member who died during the Global War on Terror (GWOT). Each mile is dedicated to an individual NJ Hero and their Family, and the Run Team will stop at each Hero Marker (each mile) to Honor and Remember to waiting Family Members, Friends, and Comrades with the goal of creating a 225+ Mile Memorial Trail through the State of New Jersey.
A Litany of Remembrance
In the rising of the sun and in its going down, We remember them. In the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter, We remember them. In the opening of buds and in the rebirth of spring, We remember them. In the blueness of the sky and in the warmth of summer, We remember them. In the rustling of leaves and in the beauty of autumn, We remember them. In the beginning of the year and when it ends, We remember them. When we are weary and in need of strength, We remember them. When we are lost and sick at heart, We remember them. When we have joys we yearn to share, We remember them. So long as we live, they too shall live, for they are now a part of us, As we remember them. Vertical Divider
