On a personal note, we would like to thank Courtney Hinders and Sarah Espinoza for all their hard work and dedication, and for uniting with us to make this event successful.

We hope that you all join us again next year for the 3rd Annual Remembrance Run – Honoring Iowa’s Fallen in September 2012.

Most importantly, let us never forget the sacrifices made by our fallen Iowa heroes. We ask that you continue to honor and remember each and every one of them.

Our deepest gratitude,

Chris and Heather Johnson
