In the Spring of 2018 “America’s Run for the Fallen” will initiate. The run now honoring nearly 20,000 will begin in San Diego, California and conclude 120 days later in Arlington National Cemetery.
In order to undertake such a massive tribute we challenge every interested patriot to get involved. The needs are many, including route permits, overnight stays, food, daily planned ceremonies and more. We will be looking for dedicated runners, state leaders and volunteers to assist in managing the particular areas of the country we will be running through. One mile for each hero lost since the War on Terror began in 2000 with the USS Cole. See our details page for more information.
In the more than 200 years of our nation’s history there has never been a specific and officially recognized symbol that reminds us daily of the sacrifices made by members of our military and the lives lost in service to our country. We propose the Honor and Remember Flag as a New Hampshire State emblem for that purpose.

I want to support Honor and Remember-NH Chapter to provide personalized flags to the families of those military service members who died in service to our Country.

Honoring and Remembering CPL Timothy Gibson – Operation Iraqi Freedom – 1st Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment, 3rd Marine Division, III Marine Expeditionary Force. KIA January 26, 2005
Sharing this from his mom, Elaine:
Tim liked people and they certainly adored him. He was never happier than when with friends and family, laughing and having a great time together. Tim was not only a brother to Tom and Patrick but also a good friend. They both looked up to Tim.
Tim always took care of those not able to stick up for themselves, being the protector to many youngsters in school. He once tot in trouble for ‘physical contact’ in grade school. When the principal found that Tim was defending a friend who being picked on, Time was exonerated. In middle school, some boys took a baseball cap from a special needs student and Tim waded right in there and took it back. In high school, a friend and Tim saved a young girl who was trying to commit suicide.
Tim excelled in sports, being the quarterback for three years and captain of the football team his senior year. He also was the centerfielder and captain of the baseball team. Tim led those athletes on and off the field. He always stopped to help the underclassmen who were struggling on the field and kept them true to their pledge of conduct.
Tim was a friend to all – teachers, coaches, athletes, non-athletes, parents of his friends—everyone had a soft spot for him. He was hard to resist with the grin of his and those blue eyes sparkling with mischief.
In the Marines, his men also looked up to him and the letters we have received from him Marine brothers speaks of a leader, serious in his duty, a good man who never had a bad word to say about anyone. His officers sent wonderful letters telling of a “Squared Away Marine”. “The Marine Corps does not build character, the Corps reveals it.” Tim’s heart was the Marines.
To remember is to honor….
