SAN DIEGO – Marines with 1st Reconnaissance Battalion pose with Albie Masland, Nick Biase and Matt Peace, from the Travis Manion Foundation on the USS Midway April 29, 2016. The run was in honor Sam Leonard, who set out to walk across the country at age 73 to raise funds for the TMF, which supports veterans and families of the fallen and is named after a fallen reconnaissance Marine. Sam began in Florida but was forced to stop in Houston when he was diagnosed with stage 4 stomach cancer. He sadly passed away four months later. Albie, the TMF west coast veteran service manager reached out to his good friends and TMF ambassadors, Nick and Matt, to see if they wanted to help honor Sam by completing the last 1,500 miles of his journey and raise money for the TMF on his behalf. They finished the trek in 30 days and on the anniversary of Travis Manion's death. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Sgt. Anna Albrecht/Released)
