Katie Garling, Hero and Remembrance Run, Walk or Roll participant, participates in the Fisher House Hero and Remembrance Run, Walk or Roll event held at Ford Island to honor fallen service members Sept. 5, 2015, at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii. “My husband was active duty; he passed away last summer, July 11, 2014," Garling said. "He was a major in the Army and an engineer. He was a big runner and, since he passed, I’ve been doing a lot more running and I joined the Survivor Outreach Services Group here, and there were a group of us that ran today. It’s definitely been a tough year, but the way that I’ve gotten through it is I just try to think of what he would want me to do. He was a really strong person, and I get on with my life every day because I know that’s what he would want me to do. He would want me to keep pushing forward and honor his memory that way. I think there is no better motivation then seeing all of the boots lined up and honoring the people who’ve made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. When you’re tired, just looking at those boots is motivating to make yourself want to keep going.” (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Christopher Hubenthal)
