Memorial Day was a beautiful day for the 3rd annual 5K “Walk for Warriors” activity held at the Sepulveda VA off of Wilshire blvd. We had a choice of walking or running. Runners started at 8am and walkers followed at 9am.
There were many volunteers passing out water along the 3-mile course. The crowd was friendly and very supportive. Various organizations were present passing out snacks and offering opportunities for winning prizes. It was a family affair ranging from young children to seniors. Many brought their dogs to join them on the walk, as did my wife and I.
“Walk for Warriors” was sponsored by “New Directions, Inc”. Together with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and other agencies and funding groups, they provide necessary services to enable its mission – to empower veterans and facilitate their successful return to their families and society.
