On Thursday, September 28th the Old Glory Relay’s Red, White and Blue Team passed through Fillmore on their 4,600 mile journey to Tampa, Florida to show support for our veterans. Old Glory Relay’s Team Red, White and Blue (RWB), a nonprofit organization, left Seattle on September 11th, starting a two month journey to Florida. Team members can walk, run or bike as they go the 4,600 mile journey. Their mission is to enrich the lives of America’s veterans by connecting them to their community through physical and social activity. Team RWB is transforming the way that America supports its veterans as they transition from service member to civilian. "It was a pretty big deal for me last year. For the first time in about 11 years since I got out of active duty, I started to feel like being a veteran was a good thing and it had a huge impact on me personally," Shannon Smyth said, Captain of the Eugene Chapter of the RWB. The relay is all about supporting veterans, and they will be carrying one flag over 4,600 miles from Seattle, WA to Tampa, FL. 10,000 people will have touched the flag in the 62 days it takes to run it across the country, including 70 to 300 veterans. They are hoping to arrive in Tampa on November 11, Veteran's Day. Sponsors include Microsoft, Westfield, TrueCar, Starbucks, Comcast NBC Universal, Schultz Family Foundation, and Military.
