The American Fallen Warrior Memorial is more than just a monument to me. It is a testament to the bravery and unfaltering patriotism of our sons and daughters who fight for our freedom. My son's name will be on the Memorial, and it is always my honor and privilege to attend Jack Barnes' events honoring our heroes. When we look up and see several hundred people with tears in their eyes and love in their hearts honoring our fallen, our Vets, and our active duty service members, a small piece of our shattered lives is gently replaced. We live to tell our hero's stories, and no one does this better than Jack Barnes.
I had a wonderful experience at the Run for the Fallen 2016 and Armed Forces Day Banquet events @ North Exhibit Hall Amarillo Civic Center on May 21, 2016! The people were excited to participate in both events. It was pure joy to see Active Military, Gold Star families, Veterans, and civilians come together to celebrate our American Freedoms and give public honor to our Fallen Warriors! "Freedom isn't Free."
