To know that people appreciate, accept and are grateful for their service brings mental peace. Many Vietnam vets have still not been welcomed home – these words mean acceptance.

We take for granted our mobility – walking, running and simple things. I want people to have an understanding of challenges that our veterans face and a greater understanding of general mobility. Our race features an easy paved course at beautiful Falling Springs Recreation Center. A portion of the proceeds will be used to provide scholarships for players in the club. This race will benefit the Bluegrass Soccer Club. Q: What do you hope the awareness will inspire people to do?Ī: That’s a great question… my answer is two-fold:ġ).
