MEMORIAL DAY RUNS WILL HONOR THE FALLEN’S FAMILY MEMBERS

This month, tens of thousands of surviving spouses, children, parents, and siblings will grieve the loss of a fallen service member killed in combat operations or as a result of military service on Memorial Day.

wear blue: run to remember honors more than 65,000 service members who have given their lives in service to our country since the first days of the Vietnam War.

On 27 May 2024, wear blue invites service members, Veterans, families, caregivers, survivors and community members to join their Memorial Day run or walk, a no-cost event recognizing the men and women who gave their lives in service to our nation.

Throughout May, wear blue individually matches runners and walkers with a fallen hero’s name to honor with their steps on Memorial Day. Participants learn the stories, speak the names and honor the legacies of these service members who gave the ultimate sacrifice.

Who is eligible? All military members, Veterans, family members, caregivers, survivors and community members can participate.

How to participate? Visit www.wearblueruntoremember.org to register for free.

What to expect? When participants pledge to run or walk on Memorial Day, wear blue will provide the name and story of a fallen service member to honor with your steps. You are encouraged to learn inspiring stories of courage, dedication, selfless service, and sacrifice of the men and women who have answered our nation’s call to service.
