    More than 30 soldiers from the Maine Army National Guard set off before sunrise on the ninth annual Maine Marathon Tribute March Sunday, Oct. 5. The soldiers walked the 26.2 Maine Marathon route through Portland, Cumberland and Yarmouth in memory of the 94 Maine service members who have been killed in action since the beginning of the global war on terror in 2001. “This is really important,” said Pfc. Julian Smedberg-LeBlanc, an infantryman in B Company, 3rd Battalion, 172nd Infantry Regiment. “It sends a good message, that we have people supporting the families of the fallen troops, it shows our dedication. We always push forward, we always honor the fallen, we never forget.” (U.S. Army National Guard photo by Spc. Adam Simmler, 121st Public Affairs Detachment)
