NJ RUN FOR THE FALLEN UNDERWAY

The New Jersey Run For The Fallen is underway on Friday, after a special ceremony memorial service Thursday evening. War veterans and family members of fallen soldiers gathered at Sunset Beach in Cape May for a flag lowering ceremony to kick-off the 186-mile memorial run up the New Jersey coastline. The event honors fallen service men and women for three days, and starts at the Cape May Lighthouse. During the run, participants stop after each mile to honor hero markers and present flags to family members and friends.
