You Tube Video of Trot With Troops

The Operation Patriot Foundation is bringing its 5K Trot With Troops downstate to New York City right here on Roosevelt Island this coming Sunday June 3. According to the Operation Patriot Foundation:
... The mission of Operation Patriot Foundation, Inc., is to pay tribute to those who protect us daily - fire fighters, law enforcement, emergency responders and our active and veteran military forces, and to raise money for organizations representing these men and women who protect us.

Our intentions are simple. To pay tribute to and help those who risk their lives for us daily and provide support to these people and their families through fund raising and ceremony in their honor.

Operation Patriot Foundation, Inc. is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization...
and:
... Trot w/ Troops is not a race, it's a charity walk/run with proceeds supporting our troops returning from combat. There are two components to Trot w/ Troops - the March and the Trot. If you enjoy running, the Trot is a full-blown double-time run. For those who want to participate in the fundraiser but running is not for you, simply join the Military March. Both will be in formation and lead by U.S. Military personnel calling out cadence. LOUD & PROUD is the theme so prepare to make noise!...
