Activity 2

Remembering their sacrificeon may 1st 2010, mike ehredt, a retired postal clerk and army veteran, touched the wheel of his jogger stroller in the pacific ocean in astoria, oregon and began an epic 4,514 mile journey across the country to honor and remember service members lost in iraq. He placed flags that hold a yellow ribbon bearing the name, rank, service, age and hometown of those whose dreams and ambitions were taken so quickly from us. The flags were placed each mile along the roads he traveled in reverse chronological order by date of death, till the very last flag he placed on the shores of the atlantic in rockland, maine on october 15th, 2010. This tribute is a silent memorial for those who have served with dignity and honor and whose sacrifice will never be forgotten. During 2011 a movie - dvd documentary was produced to celebrate project run america and to honor those lost in iraq.

Activity 3

Water sports therapy - paddling instruction and whitewater rafting instruction. Three different paddling instructional trips were arranged. Two occurred on lakes in grand teton national park, and one was conducted on the snake river in the bridger-teton national forest. Individual instruction was giving by guides to each veteran on how to paddle and maneuver the boat. Each veteran also had a guide as a paddling buddy alongside them at all times. A large network of professional guides and volunteers were mobilized in order to make these trips happen. The guides donated their time, and the whitewater float trip and instruction were donated.
