INAUGURAL

LONE STAR TRAIL of HEROES:  

RUN ACROSS TEXAS

May 17-25, 2009

 

One Mile    One Hero    One Country

Raising Funds and Awareness One Mile at a Time

 

Relay Team will cover one mile for each Texas fallen service member in Run
from Amarillo to Austin

 

Austin, Texas (April 6, 2009)  Inspired by the sacrifice of military men and
women whose lives were lost in Iraq and Afghanistan, an Austin-based 501 (c)
3 organization, OPERATION HONOR OUR HEORES, was formed to assist wounded
warriors and veterans and their families.  To accomplish the organization's
mission, a team of runners will embark on a cross country run this May to
honor every Texas fallen service member, all wounded service members, and
all of the men and women in the United States Armed Forces.  

 

The Lone Star Trail of Heroes: Run Across Texas will begin in Amarillo on
May 17 at the Panhandle War Memorial and will cover over 400 miles before
finishing in Austin on Memorial Day, May 25.  Cities included in the Run
include Amarillo, Childress, Quanah, Vernon, Wichita Falls, Gainesville,
Denton, Ft.Worth, Hillsboro, Abbott, West, Waco, Temple, Belton, Killeen,
Salado, Georgetown, Round Rock, and Austin.

 

Runners will mark every mile of their journey with a United States flag, a
photo, and a biographical card in honor of every fallen service member.  The
dedication markers are being made by students and JROTC cadets at Tascosa
High School in Amarillo, Marcus High School in Flower Mound, the Leander
I.S.D. (Cedar Park, Leander, Vista Ridge, Rouse High Schools) and Bowie High
School in Austin will create a symbolic memorial trail across Texas.

 

This Run will be a living memorial that the runners hope can be continued
from year to year and from city to city in Texas.  While each flag will
represent a soldier who has fallen, the run will represent all men and women
of the United States military.  In particular, this journey will honor all
wounded warriors and veterans and their families.  For Every Fallen Hero
there are 8 Wounded Heroes.

 

The team will be asking individuals and businesses across Texas to donate
one dollar for each mile that the runners cover on their way from Amarillo
to Austin.  All funds raised by the Run will be donated to wounded warriors
and veterans and their families.
