    A large group of people dressed in matching tan/khaki tactical clothing and carrying backpacks are marching together through a road intersection. The participants appear to be taking part in an organized ruck march or memorial walk event, as suggested by a sign being held aloft in the group. The setting appears to be a suburban area with trees, traffic lights, 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 Sept. 11 Memorial for a distance of 75 miles.
