"Yesterday, one of the first groups of marathon runners to cross the finish line were military personnel who ran the entire 26.2 miles in full fatigues, boots, and rucksacks!!. Later, there were reports that a few of these same men were seen pulling the barricades back to assist the injured. Have we told you that our Military Service Personnel ROCK!!!!"
