Brief Description

Created by the family and friends of Spc. Ronald J Tucker, our mission is to honor and remember those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our FREEDOMS. Our creed of In the Community, for the Community represents our committment to ensure the Fountain Valley pays reverance to all of the service men and women in all military branches. DEEDS NOT WORDS

Spc Tucker was in Gunner's unit and was KIA along with their CO, Cpt Pearson.

I hope as many people as possible that live in the area come out and participate.  If you are, let me know!

M1 Abrams 5k

It was freezing this morning. I texted my friend Mel to see whose bright idea this was, and she reminded me it was mine. Figures. She came over to pick me up and the outlaws stayed with the kiddos.

It was Mel's anniversary and since it was Valentine's Day, we had to do something healthy for our hearts. The run was nice, and not bad at all. It would have been easier if it hadn't been so cold. I did come in under the goal that I set for myself, so that's good. No marathons yet!

This isn't the most flattering picture, and I was freezing and only had my dad's heavy sweatshirt to run in.

My friend Mel, ready to run her first 5K. She did great!We even got a ribbon.....a participant ribbon, lol. Guess I can put it with my trophy from my 2nd place finish, lol.

The next race on post is in March, I wonder if Mel will have forgotten about this one?
