Team MFC
Dear Family and Friends,
November 19th we will be running
"The Run to Remember" Virtual 5K to benefit the
Travis Manion Foundation.
We run to honor the sacrifice our
First Responders and Military make everyday to protect our freedoms and communities!
Who is Travis Manion?
"IF NOT ME, THEN WHO..."Before his final deployment to Iraq, Travis left us with a simple but powerful ethos. “If Not Me, Then Who...” describes the sense of duty felt by service members and their families. Today is a constant reminder for all of us to live with character and put the interests of others before our own.
As Thanksgiving is approaching, we want to thank you for continuing to make sacrifices for the country we all love. We are honored and humbled to live in the United States of America!
We would love for you to join us for the run or at the Rail Trail in Hudson after to celebrate our First Responders and Military!
Run starts at 1PM!
Patriotic attire is suggested!!!
TRAVIS MANION, 1980-2007
The Man Whose Life Inspires Others
On April 29, 2007, experienced Iraq war veteran from the 1st Recon Battalion, 1stLt Travis Manion, and his fellow Marines were ambushed while searching a suspected insurgent house in the Al Anbar province of Iraq. As he led the counterattack against the enemy forces, Travis was fatally wounded by an enemy sniper while aiding and drawing fire away from his wounded teammates. His courageous acts allowed every member of his patrol to survive.
For his actions, Travis was awarded the Silver Star and Bronze Star with Valor. His legacy continues to grow through the work of TMF, inspiring people to make an impact by serving others.
