Remembering Pat Tillman, all Veterans and Friends

We woke up early Saturday morning to join our friends Victoria and Scott for the 4.2 mile Pat's Run at Leland High School, the high school Pat attended here in San Jose. In fact, they picked us up. You can read a news article here.

We ran to honor and remember all troops of the Iraqi and Afghanistan wars, and friends that are no longer here. I honored my uncle Pepe who was stationed all over the middle east, and as a way to remember a friend who recently died, Wanbli, whose birthday anniversary is April 25th.

Scott, Victoria, and my husband warming up in the sun before the race. It was a chilly 44 degrees in the morning.

Families were out pushing strollers, people running with their dogs, and a San Jose firefighter battalion ran in cadence along with a military song with their helmets on.



It was a beautiful morning to honor great men and women of our country.
