I just got started today with a 4-mile walk around Liberty Station San Diego (the old NTC San Diego).

I am the son of an Army artillery officer and a past SAL commander of Squadrons 44 in Scottsdale, Ariz., (1996-1997) and 416 in Encinitas, Calif. (2017-2018).

I am hoping to get 300 miles in by Veterans Day, in walking, running, hiking or paddle boarding, and inviting 100 people to complete the challenge.
