I don’t know how many years this is (2? 3?) but the event is awesome. I’d love to be a part of it; I just always find myself too far west. JBSA Lackland got up at 0001, rucked up, and started this journey on Friday morning.

Well done to all of those involved!

That's awesome......got one question, what are the batons the guys are carrying and what do they signify?

Too many Americans (the majority) are so focused on frivolous media crap they forget we're still at war, that young Americans are out there every day on the sharp edge, paying the price. Well done indeed...and hopefully these kind of events will spread a little enlightenment.

"Along the way, they will carry a baton inscribed with the 20 names of their special tactics colleagues killed since 2001"

It was an honor to be able to kick off the memorial ruck, absolutely worth it.
