At 7:45 a.m. Saturday, August 20, people from
across the state and the nation will gather at
the Veteran's Memorial at the Boundary County
Library, hold a brief service in remembrance of
all those who've given their lives in service to
their country in the nation's wars on terrorism
since September 11, 2001, and set out to walk or
run portions of a 44-kilometer course along the
Kootenai River, each kilometer marked with the
picture and biography of 44 Idahoans who paid
the ultimate sacrifice.
The biographies, compiled by Jessica Tingley
based on information provided by the families of
the fallen, are often poignant and always
touching. Except for the fact that they all gave
their lives in service to our country, they
could all be the folks next door, and through
their biographies you'll see not only how they
lived, but the impact being felt by their loss.
On the four pages that follow, you'll meet 42
men and two women, Idaho's sons and daughters.
Each image links to their page on the Idaho Run
for the Fallen website,
http://www.runforthefallenidaho.org, which
can be printed and brought with you to the run. |
