    Soldiers marching the Maine Marathon Tribute March were joined by families of fallen Maine servicemembers at Payson Park in Portland, to walk the last two miles to the finish line of the Maine Marathon Sunday, Oct. 5. The 26.2 march along the route of the Maine Marathon pays tribute to the 92 Maine service members 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)
