Good Morning-Jan Walker has been walking and running across America in support of the September 11th National Memorial Trail for the past seven months.  Starting at the Pacific Ocean, [Sunday] she was in Prince William County and Fairfax County, Virginia on her way to Mount Vernon.  I have attached a photo of her in the quaint Town of Occoquan walking through their Arts and Crafts Festival. Mayor Liz Quist and former Mayor Earnie Porta joined her.ÂToday, Monday, she will be at Mount Vernon at 2:30 PM.  Tomorrow,Tuesday, September 27th  she walk through Alexandria, stopping for an early lunch, and then arrive at the Pentagon Memorial where we will greet her at 2:00 PM.  This is quite an accomplishment, and we all at the September 11th National Memorial Trail thank her for her strong support of honoring our heroes of 9/11.ÂAlso - Hope that you all had an opportunity to read the wonderful article on the September 11th National Memorial Trail in the September issue of the Rails-To-Trails magazine.Â
