The 9/11 Heroes Run supporting the Travis Manion Foundation was held on Sept. 13 on Daniel Island. The 9/11 Heroes Run 5K honors those lost on 9/11, their families and the service and sacrifice of our military and first responders.
The events surrounding 9/11 are critical in helping Americans fulfill the promise to never forget, and to share the significance of that day with future generations. Travis Manion, U.S. Marine Corps, made the ultimate sacrifice for the safety of his patrol in Iraq in April 2007.
Members of the VFW Post 3137 from Isle of Palms participated in the Heroes Run. Coordinator Dawn Holzer organized the volunteers, picked up race packets and led the VFW members through the neighborhoods of Daniel Island on the 5K Run/Walk.
At the conclusion of the run, awards were presented to the fastest runners in each category. Group awards were also presented. VFW Post 3137 won first place for having the most participants for a military-affiliated team. The VFW actively supports all members of the U.S. military, veterans, first responders and their families.
