2nd Annual TriState Veterans Memorial 5k Run/Walk - Knights in action...

I’m beyond grateful to everyone from the incredible energy of our recent 5K, and I’m overflowing with gratitude for everyone who helped make it such a profound success.

To our dedicated Board of Directors, your leadership sets the tone for impact—thank you for your unwavering commitment.

To our tireless volunteers, your hearts and hands brought this event to life in ways words can barely capture.

To our generous sponsors, your support and belief in our mission and your investment makes healing possible for veterans living with PTSD.

Thank you to the nearly 200 runners and participants—your spirit and stride gave this race its purpose.

A special moment I’ll never forget: Meddie, singing the National Anthem with such grace and reverence—your voice truly was the voice of an angel.

The Washington Township Fire Department, your display of the American Flag was nothing short of majestic. You embodied honor, dignity, and deep respect—thank you for elevating the moment.

I was also deeply humbled by this year’s fastest runners:

Christian, age 13, blazing through at 18:25—you dominated the field.

Michele, age 50, leading the female category with 22:07—a remarkable display of strength.

It’s moments like these that remind us why we run—for community, for remembrance, and for healing.

Thank you, thank you to everyone who came out in support of veterans with PTSD. Your presence, your passion, your support—it all matters.

*Save the date: We plan to meet again on Saturday, August 8, 2026. Details to follow—stay tuned and stay inspired!
