Wear Blue.
Run to Remember.
We will close the month with a powerful community effort, called The Piestewa Challenge, to honor the women who have given their lives in our continued combat operations around the globe. This effort is named in honor of SPC Lori Piestewa; SPC Piestewa is the first American Indian service member to be killed in combat on foreign soil, as well as the first female service member killed in Iraq. Starting on March 23, we invite our community to create teams (up to 6) and collectively take purposeful steps towards completing a 150-mile challenge through 29 March, to honor the lives of the women killed in action* in the Global War on Terror.
Each step will honor the women who made the ultimate sacrifice, celebrate the women
who were willing to make such sacrifices, and unite our community with a shared effort
of purpose, health, and connection.
