Dime Bank Blue Crew - Ran to Pay Tribute to the
Traveling Military Wall
News Release - June 19, 2009
Norwich, CT - The Dime Bank Blue Crew was on the road again
- this time running in honor of the traveling military wall, our veterans,
men and women serving in the military and those who made the ultimate
sacrifice for our country. Collectively, runners represented the POW's
that lead the run through Montville, followed by the Mohegan Striders
in red, later to be joined by the National Guard of Groton in white and
lastly the Dime Bank Blue Crew joining in Norwich.
The run commenced along Route 32 at 5:32 pm, ending at H.T. Brown Park
around 7pm. The tribute precession included runners leading the pack,
only to be followed by hundreds of motorcycles, antique, police and military
vehicles. Rich DeLorge of the Richard E. Hourigan VFW Post 594 in Norwich
hosted the ceremony.
"As we ran into H. T. Brown Park carrying the flag, the emotions
became obvious. Smiles, emotional faces and salutes greeted the flag we
were carrying from police officers, military, Vets and families. It's
one of those moments you will never forget and you will carry forever.
The Blue Crew is thankful we were able to be a part of this tribute,
said Matthews."
