    A large group of people dressed in matching khaki/tan tactical pants and shirts are marching together across an intersection on a paved road. Most participants are carrying backpacks and appear to be part of an organized ruck march or charity walk event. The march is taking place in a suburban area with trees, traffic signals, and parked vehicles visible in the background.

    Thirty-six ruckers finish a two day Air Advisor Memorial Ruck March which departed from New York City, April 26, and arrived here, April 27. Nine members of the NATO Air Training Command-Afghanistan were killed in action, April 27, 2011, while serving as advisors and mentors to the people of Afghanistan. In honor of the one year anniversary, and of the ultimate sacrifices these individuals made for their country, nine paver stones -- each inscribed with the name of one of the fallen " NATC-A Nine" -- were carried on foot, via traditional military "ruck," from the National September 11 Memorial for a distance of 75 miles.
