Roughly 30 service members began a 4.2 mile run the morning of April 22, in honor of Pat Tillman. The group was led by Army Pfc. Justin Baldwin, 209th Military Police Company, deployed from Ft. Polk, La., who was selected to carry the American flag. Pat Tillman Memorial Runs are held to honor the former NFL player who joined the U.S. Army and later died in Operation Enduring Freedom.
