Honoring a Hero

Brian and I have returned from New York where we celebrated Roy's 60th birthday with a surprise party. I will post more on this later as I get the pictures going. It was a wonderful party and great to see everyone. While we were in Albany, we also got to participate in a memorial 5k that honored Timothy Moshier, a West Point graduate and high school classmate of Brian's that died in combat in Iraq. The Saturday race was a benefit for his infant daughter and funded a scholarship in his honor. A good high school friend of Brian, Erin, spent a lot of time helping put this race together. Brian and I also got to see another of Bri's high school buds, Mark, who was great company for the little-over three mile run. Wa even joined in the act and gave the walkers a run for their money. It was a privilege to run and to say thanks in any way for what Tim gave for our country and our freedom. It was a little overwhelming to put a personal story to all those we hear in the media each day. It is hard to be numb to a grieving widow pushing their infant in a stroller. No doubt he is a hero whose life and legacy will be remembered by many. You can check out his memorial website below. www.timothyjmoshier.com
