On April 4 at 9:00am many men and women, both military and civilian, will take off on a 26.2-mile march in the 2nd Annual “Mountain Man March”. The March was formed to honor 1LT. Frank B. Walkup, a UT graduate that was killed in the line of duty serving in Iraq in June 2007. The March quickly evolved to honor all of our Armed Forces who have sacrificed and are still sacrificing for our country. The March will begin at Red Light #3 in Gatlinburg and will span into the Pittman Center and Glades Communities, and back to the starting point. The course will include highway and rural areas, with rugged and sloping terrain. Some participants have been training since last year’s March for this year’s. There are many different categories that civilians and service men/women can enter. You can find more information on the March and 1LT. Frank Walkup at www.mountainmanmarch.com. Auntie Belham’s wants to say THANK YOU to all of those who are serving or have served our country, and to the family members of those serving.
