Miles for Heroes on Last Leg of Walk

Miles for Heroes came down Highway 77 late afternoon on Memorial Day, followed by fire, rescue and police from Hooper, Winslow and Fremont. Their mission began on May 22nd in Scottsbluff, marching across the entire state of Nebraska carrying the American flag. This year, the march was in honor of the late Lt. Donald Schwab, a native of Hooper. Josh Marreel, also of Hooper, and a Marine Corps Veteran, was among many others to make this journey. This was the second year in a row with last year’s journey beginning in York, Ne to bring awareness for wounded veterans. Congratulations to them and their effort, and above all, courage in undertaking such a task for those that serve in the military.
