One Life, One Flag, One Mile
After over 8 months of marathon days, Mike Ehredt’s amazing personal tribute to over 6,550 fallen US Servicemen and women ended on Veterans Day, November 11, 2012, in Galveston, Texas, at 1:30 PM. In 2010, Mike ran from Astoria, OR, to Rockland, ME, and placed 4,424 flags, one every mile for every US soldier and Marine lost in Iraq. Then, in 2012, Mike placed the last of 2,140 flags, honoring those US soldiers and Marines who had died in Afghanistan. What did you think?

I am an eighty-year-old Brit, who had a father in the army throughout WWII who came home and his father, my grandfather in the army throughout WWI and he came home too.
I had tears at the end of this amazing tribute and have thought many times about those who did not come home.
Incidentally, at the time of writing this, today is Remembrance Day
Thank you.
