I believe one of the most improbable goals in human history was undertaken by our founding fathers and mothers when they established this country. A country formed for the ideals of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

But the experiment is fragile. Too often in today’s time, we do not listen to our fellow Americans. To see their side and to honor their equal right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Indeed, there is too much of me and not enough of us. And it is a disgrace to the sacrifices that these brave service men and women gave. They gave all for us. Can’t we honor their memory by at least listening to the ideas of our fellow Americans and engaging in Civil Discourse?

A few years back, I walked 50 miles in honor of Veterans. At the time, it seemed an “improbable goal.” But what is more improbable is that a citizenry of people of every creed and race giving their lives for a single idea. So today as a plea for all of us to get along and work together, I take you through a virtual 50-mile walk with each 10-mile marker in honor of the fallen in the Army, Air Force, Marines, Navy and Coast Guard. #memorialday
