TELL ME MORE ABOUT THE NATIONAL WALK?
The tradition began with a walk in Washington DC, and the National ASY Freedom Walk continues. Now in its fourth year, the National ASY Freedom Walk draws people not only from the Washington metropolitan region, but from throughout the nation. Each person who walks has his own special reason and his own interesting story to tell. If you have a story you'd like to share, please let us know!
This year, on Sunday, September 7, the fourth-annual America Supports You National Freedom Walk will take place in Washington, DC. The National ASY Freedom Walk is free of charge and open to the public. You must register in advance to participate. Registration is easy and can be done online. But walking is not the only way you can support the cause. We're looking for volunteers to check registration, hand out t-shirts, support our walkers, and lend assistance to those in need. Find out more about what YOU can do to be a part of the America Supports You Freedom Walk. |

"It's still hard, it's still sad. It's something you never get over. We not only keep her alive in our minds and memories, we want the world to remember her, too. That's why we participate in the America Supports You Freedom Walk. In her memory."
- Sharon Graham. sister of Brenda Gibson
Brenda Gibson, 59, of Fredericksburg, was working as a civilian accountant for the Army when the jetliner hit the Pentagon at 9:37 a.m. She was one of 125 people in the building who died, along with all 59 passengers and crew aboard the plane and the five hijackers. |
